Which of these cell organelles are involved in the synthesis of new plant cell walls?
Correct answer: C. Golgi complex
- A. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- B. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- C. Golgi complex
- D. Cell membrane
Explanation
In plant cells, the Golgi apparatus consists of a number of isolated units called dictyosomes while in animal cells it occurs as a single compact or loose complex. The dictyosomes are engaged in secretory activities (because secretory materials are produced in dictyosomes) and rapid divisions (because wall materials are synthesized in dictyosomes).

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.
