complex polysaccharides
In plant cells, the Golgi apparatus serves as the site at which the complex polysaccharides of the cell wall are synthesized. The Golgi apparatus is thus involved in processing the broad range of cellular constituents that travel along the secretory pathway.
In higher plants, the Golgi apparatus plays a fundamental role in “the birth” of the cell wall. During cytokinesis (process of division of cytoplasm at the end of cell division to form two separate cells with their own cell walls), a new cell wall is formed and starts to assemble with the transport of Golgi-derived secretory vesicles to the center of a dividing cell.
