Golgi apparatus Flashcards
1
Q
What is the Golgi apparatus?
A
The Golgi apparatus is an organelle round in most eukaryotic cells. It consists of closely layered stacks of membrane-enclosed spaces.
2
Q
What does the Golgi apparatus do?
A
The membrane-enclosed spaces of the Golgi apparatus process, sort, deliver and package proteins.
3
Q
What do the membranes of the Golgi apparatus contain?
A
They contain enzymes that make additional changes to proteins.
4
Q
What is about the packaged proteins?
A
Packaged proteins:
- Some are stored within the Golgi apparatus for later use.
- Some are transported to other organelles within the cell.
- Others are carried to the membrane and secreted outside the cell.
5
