Question

Very short answer type.
What is the other name of the Golgi complex?

Answer 1

Golgi bodies are aggregations of membrane-bound spaces, particularly abundant secretory cells. They form a specialized part of the endo-membrane system and serve as the centers of cellular secretion.

Complete step by step answer:
The smaller Golgi Apparatus type vesicles found in plants are called dictyosomes. Proteins are synthesized on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and are transported to the vesicles of Golgi Apparatus. In the vesicles of the Golgi apparatus, the proteins are processed and sorted for secretion, storage, transport, etc. Similarly, proteins are stored in the dictyosomes for further transport, modification, etc.and packed into vesicles. Golgi Complexes are essentially membrane-bound spaces. Dictyosomes in animal cells are stacked tightly together, while the dictyosomes in plant cells are dispersed in the cytoplasm, making them difficult to identify as the Golgi apparatus.

Additional Information:
Golgi bodies occur in all kinds of cells, excepting prokaryotes and mature mammalian Erythrocytes. Their location, number, and size are different for different cell types.
-they were first discovered and described in 1897 by the Italian scientist Camillo Golgi and was named after him in 1898.
-Golgi complexes package proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination. They are located near the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways.

Note:
-They play an important role in processing proteins for secretion. They are involved in mucopolysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids by glycosylation.
-They serve as an intracellular compartment for the chemical modification and transformation of substances synthesized elsewhere, and also for differentiation and rapid turnover of cellular membranes.
-In secretory cells, they are usually seen in between the nucleus and the apical pole. But in vertebrate cells, nerve cells, liver cells, and most plant cells have multiple sets, more or less evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm.
