Which of the following best describes the Golgi apparatus?
Correct answer: B. Packing and modification center of the cell
- A. Site of energy production
- B. Packing and modification center of the cell
- C. Storage of genetic material
- D. Site of protein synthesis
Explanation
The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies them and packages them into vesicles for secretion or delivery, so it is the cell's packaging centre. Energy production is the mitochondrion's role, genetic material is stored in the nucleus and proteins are synthesised on ribosomes.

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.
