Answer:

The correct option is b. Digestion of misfolded proteins does not take place in the Golgi complex.

The Golgi complex is a cellular organelle in charge of:

a. processing of lysosomal proteins

c. processing of membrane proteins

d. glycosylation of glycoproteins and glycolipids

Step-by-step explanation:

The Golgi apparatus is a cellular organelle in charge of handling the proteins synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum, aiding in the manufacture and packaging of proteins and lipids, to transform and export them to the rest of the body. The proteins enter the Golgi apparatus and are then transported along a series of cisterns in which the enzymes act to modify them. In this process, the proteins receive a fragment of carbohydrates or lipids, which produces glycoproteins, glycolipids and lipoproteins. Subsequently, the proteins will be packed in membranes to form two types of vesicles: secretory vesicles and storage vesicles. The vesicles filled with these products move through the rest of the cell, generally crossing the cell to the plasma membrane, which is its final destination.
