Which of the following cell organelles involved in the synthesis of cell wall and middle lamella?
Correct answer: B. Golgi apparatus
- A. Endoplasmic reticulum
- B. Golgi apparatus
- C. Lysosomes
- D. Peroxisomes
Explanation
The Golgi and plasma membranes are the two main sites where constituents of cell wall are synthesized. The Golgi body is also known as Golgi apparatus. It synthesizes vesicles which then fuse to form the middle lamella as shown below.

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.
