Question

Besides producing secretory vesicles, the function of Golgi body is
A)Lysosome formation
B)Formation of spindle fibres
C)Formation of E.R
D)All of the above

Answer 1

Golgi apparatus is observed as a single-membranous cell structure that is found to be present within the cell. In addition, it is connected with the process of processing and packaging inside the cells.

Complete answer:
Golgi apparatus was first discovered by Camillo Golgi. Due to this reason, it is also term as the Golgi body or the Golgi complex or the Golgi apparatus. In plants, it is also referred to as a dictyosome. It is usually seen as single-membranous cell organelle. The Golgi body is made by the modification of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Now let us find solution from given options:
Lysosome formation : The Golgi body is involved and helps in the formation of lysosomes vesicles that contain proteins and remain within the cell.
Formation of spindle fibres : these are formed as a result of microtubules along with some proteins that carry information for their formation.
Formation of E.R : proteins molecules are formed and they get deposited over time in the lumen and as a result they help to form vesicles called ER.
All of the above : as only one of the options is correct, this cannot be correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)

Note: Golgi apparatus is a type of cell organelle that is present in all cells except some prokaryotes like PPLO, bacteria, cyanobacteria and some eukaryotes such as human RBCs, sieve tubes of plants, etc. It was first observed and discovered by Camillo Golgi while observing the densely stained reticular structures present near the nucleus of the cell.
