what is the function of the golgi complex?
○ make atp for energy
○ degrade biological molecules
○ store rna
○ synthesize proteins
○ package proteins and other materials into membrane - bound vesicles
The Golgi complex is an organelle in the cell. It receives proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum. Then, it modifies, sorts, and packages them. The packaging is done into membrane - bound vesicles. These vesicles can then be transported to their destinations, such as secretion outside the cell or to other organelles within the cell.
- Making ATP for energy is the function of mitochondria.
- Degrading biological molecules is mainly the role of lysosomes.
- Storing RNA is not a primary function of the Golgi complex.
- Synthesizing proteins is mainly done by ribosomes (either free - ribosomes or those attached to the endoplasmic reticulum).
