Question

Assertion (A): The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to package the materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum and deliver it to intracellular targets and outside the cell.

Reason (R): Vesicles containing materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, and they are modified and released from the trans face of the Golgi apparatus.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

पर्याय

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

The Golgi apparatus’s primary job is to bundle, sort, and transport materials (lipids and proteins) from the ER to their proper locations. After being moved out of the trans face, vesicles from the ER merge with the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, where their contents undergo changes such as glycosylation and tagging.
