Question

How do the Golgi apparatus and vesicles interact in an animal cell?


a
The Golgi apparatus packages proteins, and the vesicles transport the packages to various locations in the cell.
b
The Golgi apparatus transports proteins, and the vesicles control the transportation of the proteins in the cell.
c
The Golgi apparatus synthesizes proteins, and the vesicles package the proteins for transport in the cell.
d
The Golgi apparatus degrades proteins, and the vesicles synthesize replacement proteins in the cell.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

**a** The Golgi apparatus packages proteins, and the vesicles transport the packages to various locations in the cell.

In an animal cell, the Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins that have been synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Once the proteins are processed, they are encapsulated in vesicles, which then transport these proteins to their destination, either inside the cell or for secretion outside the cell.
