Q

Why are all cells small?

A

the larger the cell gets, the more likely that its growth and metabolism will be limited by its ability to supply itself across the plasma membrane
Smaller is more efficient!!!

  2. Pinch off
25
Q

Golgi Apparatus def

A

Processes and packages proteins and lipid molecules

26
Q

What happens inside the Golgi body? (4)

  3. Sorts and packages products
  4. Forms vesicles that “ship” products to their final destination
27
Q

How does the Golgi body receive transport vesicles? (2 )
