Question

The human body contains many different types of glands; glands that secrete digestive enzymes, mucus, and sweat. These secretions are modified, sorted, and packaged for later release from gland cells.

What cellular organelle is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids?
A) ribosomes
B) Golgi bodies
C) mitochondria
D) endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 1

Golgi bodies are responsible for modifying, sorting and packaging proteins and lipids.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be B) Golgi bodies

Golgi body is a cell organelle made up of vesicles and folded membranes.

It is mainly associated with the storage, modification, and packaging of macromolecules such as proteins and fats.

Macromolecules with the help of vesicles are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to cis-Golgi bodies.

They are then modified in the folded membranes of the Golgi.

Post-modification they are transported to the different parts of the cell with the help of vesicles.
