Golgi Outline Structure Function Apparatus Body/Apparatus Stack Membrane

The Golgi apparatus modifies proteins and packages them into vesicles for transport, functioning as a stack of membrane-bound sacs.

The Golgi apparatus is a stack of membrane-bound sacs that modifies proteins and packages them into vesicles for transport. It does not contain ribosomes.

Front Outline the structure and function of the Golgi apparatus.
Back Golgi body/apparatus - stack of membrane bound cavities (cisternae)
  • Modifies proteins and packages them into vesicles for transport (modifying could involve changing/rearranging the protein strcuture or attaching diff. molecules to protein)
  • Does NOT contain ribosomes
