Identify the cell organelle given below. Which is an important site of formation of glyeoproteins & glycolipids
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi body
mitochondria
Correct Answer :
C. Golgi body
The given cell organelle is Golgi body. Golgi apparatus is found in most eukaryotic cells. It was identified in 1897 by the Italian physician Camillo Golgi and named after him in 1898. Functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.
