Question

Apparato reticulo interno was discovered by Golgi in
(a) 1898
(b) 1900
(c) 1925
(d) 1928

Answer 1

Hint: Golgi found Apparato reticulo interno in a year that was not a leap year. The great British physicist, John Hopkinson, was born this year. Marie and Pierre Curie revealed the discovery of a material they call radium over the course of this year. It is the only moment in the same year that 5 elements are discovered.

Complete step by step answer:
Camillo Golgi, which means reticular apparatus, identified the Golgi apparatus as apparato reticolare interno. Since observing the cellular organelle under the microscope, it was noticed in the year 1898 while examining the cells of the nervous system. Inspired by its presence, Golgi called the internal reticular apparatus (apparato reticolare interno) for this cell structure.
The Golgi apparatus was one of the first organelles to be discovered and studied in detail, owing to its large size and distinctive shape. At first, some questioned the finding, arguing that the structure's presence was merely an optical illusion caused by the observation technique used by Golgi. The discovery was confirmed with the development of modern microscopes in the twentieth century.

The Golgi apparatus consists of a set of compartments in most eukaryotes and is a collection of fused, flattened membrane-enclosed discs known as cisternae (singular: cisterna, also known as 'dictyosomes'), derived from vesicular clusters budding from the endoplasmic reticulum.
It is a portion of the cytoplasm endomembrane system, which bundles proteins within the cell into membrane-bound vesicles before the vesicles are sent to their destination.
So, the correct answer is, ‘1898’.


Note: The Golgi apparatus was earlier referred to as were referred by different names, that also includes the 'Golgi-Holmgren apparatus', 'Golgi-Holmgren ducts', and 'Golgi-Kopsch apparatus'. In 1910, the term "Golgi apparatus" was used and first appeared in 1913 in scientific literature, while in 1956 the "Golgi complex" was added.
