4

_______________ is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and golycolipids.

A. SER

B. Lysosome

C. Golgi apparatus

D. Mitochondria

Correct Answer :

C. Golgi apparatus


The Golgi apparatus (also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body) is an organelle, identified in 1897 by the Italian physician Camillo Golgi and named after him in 1898. Golgi apparatus is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. It functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their ultimate endpoints: lysosomes, the plasma membrane.
