An important site for formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids is
Correct answer: B. Golgi apparatus
- A. Vacuole
- B. Golgi apparatus
- C. Plastid
- D. Lysosome
Explanation
The correct answer is the Golgi apparatus. This organelle is key in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell. It is specifically involved in the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids by attaching carbohydrate and lipid moieties to proteins and lipids. In contrast, vacuoles are for storage, plastids are primarily for photosynthesis and pigment storage, and lysosomes are involved in the breakdown of cellular waste.
