Q) Describe the structure and function of Golgi body

Main points
Key idea:	Structural features of Golgi body
· Stack (of flattened sacs) + sys (of assoc vesicles) · Made fr vesicles derived fr rER · Ref to ‘forming’ or cis face + ’maturing’ or trans face
Key idea:	Functions of Golgi body
i) Chemically modifies proteins (e.g. attach carbo chain to protein - glycoprotein) ii) Sorts, packages proteins into (transport or secretory) vesicles for transport w/n or out of cell via exocytosis iii) Forms lysosome iv) Lipid synthesis + transportation v) Forms cell plate which becomes cell wall
Comments: (i) Visualize the answer with the aid of a labelled picture of the organelle (refer to earlier post for URL) (ii) Verbalize the answer + write down the main points w/o referring to the answer (use abbreviations) (iii) Read again within the next 24h & once more within 72h (do not spend more than 10min) (iv) sER is the primary site of lipid synthesis (e.g. cholesterol, phospholipids, steroid, fatty acid, etc) + drug detoxification
