Question
what is the main function of the golgi in an animal cell?
to package proteins and other substances and send them to different parts of
the cell
to break down waste and worn - out cell parts
to make proteins
to control which substances enter and leave the cell
The Golgi apparatus in an animal cell is responsible for modifying, packaging, and transporting proteins and lipids. It receives these molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum, processes them (e.g., adding sugar groups in glycosylation), and then packages them into vesicles. These vesicles can be sent to different parts of the cell (such as lysosomes) or secreted outside the cell.
Breaking down waste and worn - out cell parts is the function of lysosomes. Making proteins is mainly the job of ribosomes (either free - floating or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum). Controlling which substances enter and leave the cell is the function of the cell membrane.
