The organelle you are describing is the Golgi apparatus (or Golgi body). It is responsible for processing, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids that have been synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum. The Golgi apparatus modifies these molecules and then packages them into vesicles for transport to their final destinations, whether that be within the cell, to the cell membrane, or for secretion outside the cell.
a membrane-bound organelle that is a series of folded membranes; packages proteins and other materials into vesicles to be inserted into a membrane, packaged into an organelle, or shipped to the outside of the cell is what?
