Question

When looking at plant and animal cells with an electron microscope, you notice that the plant cells have more Golgi membranes than the animal cells. This is most likely because unlike in animal cells, in plant cells the Golgi apparatus is involved in the production of

Answer 1

Answer: Production of cell wall

Step-by-step explanation:

Golgi apparatus is a cell organelle which is basically involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids. It also helps in the modification and sorting of the protein to be secreted.

Unlike animal cell, in plant cell the Golgi apparatus are large in number and is involved in the production of chemicals such as pectin, polysaccharides which is useful in making cell walls.

Because of this reason the plant cell has more number of small Golgi bodies as compared to that of animal cell which as larger and few Golgi body.

Hence, the conclusion is in plant cell Golgi body also helps in the production of chemicals necessary for cell wall synthesis.
