Question

What happens when Golgi apparatus is removed from the cell?
(a)Modification, sorting and packaging of the materials coming from endoplasmic reticulum or synthesized in the golgi complex itself, will not take place.
(b)Modification, sorting and packaging of the materials coming from endoplasmic reticulum or synthesized in the golgi complex itself, takes place as usual.
(c)Modification, sorting and packaging of the materials coming from cytoplasm or synthesized in the golgi complex itself, will not take place.
(d)All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Golgi apparatus forms the part of the cellular endomembrane system (A collection of membranous structures involved in transport within the cell). These are also involved in the transport of lipid molecules across the cell.

Complete answer:
Golgi apparatus performs the function of modification, sorting, and packaging of the materials coming from the endoplasmic reticulum or synthesized in the Golgi complex. On removing the Golgi apparatus these functions will cease to happen. The main components of the endomembrane system are the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vesicles, and cell membrane and nuclear envelope.

Additional Information: -The Golgi apparatus was first observed in the year 1897 by Italian cytologist Camillo Golgi.
-The Golgi apparatus is also called the Golgi complex or Golgi body, the membrane-bound organelle of eukaryotic cells (cells with clearly defined nuclei) that is made up of a series of flattened, stacked pouches called cisternae.
-The Golgi body is located in the cytoplasm next to the endoplasmic reticulum and near the nucleus.
-The Golgi body receives proteins synthesized in the RER (rough endoplasmic reticulum) and transferred to it via the SER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum).
-In general, a Golgi apparatus is made up of approximately four to eight cisternae.
-The cisternae are held together by the matrix proteins, and the whole of the Golgi apparatus is supported by cytoplasmic microtubules.
-Some molecules, including certain soluble proteins and secretory proteins, are carried in the vesicles to the cell membrane for exocytosis (release into the extracellular environment).
So, the correct answer is, ‘Modification, sorting, and packaging of the materials coming from the endoplasmic reticulum or synthesized in the Golgi complex itself, will not take place’.

Note: The Golgi apparatus has three primary compartments, known generally as “cis” (cisternae nearest the endoplasmic reticulum), “medial” (central layers of cisternae), and “trans” (cisternae farthest from the endoplasmic reticulum).
