Cisternae of Golgi apparatus are formed by the fusion of vesicles. These vesicles are bud-off from the
Correct answer: D. Endoplasmic reticulum
- A. Ribosomes
- B. Plasma membrane
- C. Nuclear membrane
- D. Endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation
The Golgi apparatus is an organelle responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids. Vesicles that form the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus originate from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These vesicles transport proteins and lipids, synthesized in the ER, to the Golgi apparatus for further processing. Ribosomes are primarily involved in protein synthesis, whereas the plasma membrane and nuclear membrane are not involved in forming these vesicles.

About Cytoplasmic Organelles
Cytoplasmic organelles are the specialized structures suspended in cytoplasm, including mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles and centrosomes. Questions compare their structures and functions in animal and plant cells, including chloroplasts and the role of the endomembrane system in transport and secretion.
