Write a short note on Golgi Apparatus (Golgi Complex)
Table of Contents
Definition :
Materials that are synthesized in ER have to be transferred to different parts of the cell, this transporting of the materials is done by a specific cell organelle called golgi apparatus.
It is located in the cytoplasm next to the ER and near the cell nucleus.
Discovery:
The Golgi apparatus was first described by Camillo Golgi.
Structure :
- Golgi apparatus (Golgi Complex ) usually consists of a system of membrane-bound fluid-filled vesicles that are arranged in parallel to each other.
- They are generally arranged in the form of stacks referred to as cisternae.
Functions :
- Materials which are synthesized near to ER are transported by golgi apparatus.
- Storage, modification and packaging of products are the main functions of golgi apparatus.
- It converts polymers from monomers in some cases.
- Formation of lysosomes also takes place with the help of golgi apparatus.
- Synthesising cell wall and plasma membrane also takes place with the help of golgi apparatus.
