Question

cell explorer: the animal cell
the golgi apparatus (golgi body)
what would happen if the golgi bodies in the cell were destroyed?
a. the cell would spontaneously combust.
b. the cell would no longer be able to make cell energy.
c. the cell would have difficulty processing and transporting proteins.
d. the cell would not be able to store dna effectively.
sorry, that is incorrect! try again!

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the function of the Golgi apparatus: it modifies, sorts, and packages proteins (and lipids) for transport. Let's evaluate each option:

• Option A: Cell combustion is not related to Golgi function. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Energy production is done by mitochondria, not Golgi. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Since Golgi processes and transports proteins, destroying it would hinder this. This matches.
• Option D: DNA storage is in the nucleus, not related to Golgi. Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. The cell would have difficulty processing and transporting proteins.
