Golgi apparatus
Cell's packaging center
The Golgi apparatus is a cellular structure that processes and packages proteins and lipids for transport within or outside the cell.
Found in most eukaryotic cells, it consists of stacked, flattened membrane sacs.
The Golgi apparatus modifies molecules received from the endoplasmic reticulum, sorting them into vesicles bound for their final destinations: The Golgi apparatus is essential for protein secretion.
