The Golgi complex plays a major role
Correct answer: B. In post-translational modification of proteins and glycosylation of lipids
- A. As energy converting organelles
- B. In post-translational modification of proteins and glycosylation of lipids
- C. In capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy
- D. In the intracellular digestion of proteins and carbohydrates
Explanation
The Golgi complex is integral to the post-translational modification of proteins and the glycosylation of lipids. Proteins synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and lipids from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum are further processed in the Golgi apparatus. Here, proteins undergo modifications such as folding and cutting, and both proteins and lipids are glycosylated, meaning they are combined with carbohydrates to form glycoproteins and glycolipids, respectively. This is essential for their proper function and transport within the cell.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
