Answer:
Golgi
apparatus or Golgi bodies or Golgi complex is composed of membrane-bound
fluid-filled vesicles, vacuoles and cisternae. In animal cells they are larger
and only one or two in number, while in plants they are smaller and more in
number. Also, in plant cells, they are distributed throughout the cytoplasm and
are called dictyosomes.
Functions:
1. It is involved in the transport and modification of
protein, lipids as well as carbohydrates.
2. It helps in the formation of cell plate during cell
division.
3. It is also involved in the formation of lysosomes and
peroxisomes.
4. The material synthesised near endoplasmic reticulum is
packaged and dispatched to various targets and outside the cell through the
Golgi apparatus.
