Which organelle forms cell wall?
Correct answer: D. Golgi apparatus
- A. Cell membrane
- B. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
- C. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
- D. Golgi apparatus
Explanation
The correct answer is the Golgi apparatus. It is integral to processing and packaging substances, including polysaccharides that are vital for cell wall construction in plant cells. Unlike the Golgi apparatus, the cell membrane serves as a selective barrier, the SER is involved in lipid metabolism, and the RER is focused on protein synthesis, none of which directly contribute to cell wall formation.

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.
