Which component of the cell is concerned with cell secretions?
Correct answer: B. Golgi complex
- A. Plasma membrane
- B. Golgi complex
- C. Cytoskeleton
- D. Mitochondria
Explanation
The Golgi complex is the correct answer because it is the organelle responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids that are either secreted from the cell or sent to other locations. Proteins synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) are transported to the Golgi complex for further processing. Once processed, these proteins are packaged into vesicles for secretion. The other options are not primarily involved in cell secretions: the plasma membrane regulates transport and communication, the cytoskeleton provides structural support, and mitochondria are involved in energy production.

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.
