Golgi Apparatus

advertisement

The Golgi apparatus looks like a stack of pancakes, and these
stacks are called cisternae. Each cisterna is made up of a twolayer membrane surrounding a central liquid-filled area. There
are usually four to eight stacks in a single Golgi complex, but in
some organisms there can be as many as sixty.
The Golgi apparatus is usually
located near the nucleus of
the cell.

The function of the Golgi apparatus is to modify,
sort, and package proteins and other materials
from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the
cell or secretion outside the cell.
