Question

Which among the following is an important site for formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids?
A) Lysosome
B) Vacuole
C) Golgi apparatus
D) Plastid

Answer 1

At the intersection of the lysosomal, secretory, and endocytic pathways, it resides. In the production of proteins for secretion, it is of essential significance to contain a collection of glycosylation enzymes that bind different sugar monomers to proteins as the proteins pass via the apparatus.

Complete answer:
First we should know about cells to answer this question. Of all recognised organisms, the cell is the fundamental structural, functional, and biological unit. The simplest form of life is a cell. The "key components of life" are also called cells.
Now, let us find the solution from the options-
- A lysosome is present in many animal cells as a membrane-bound organelle. They are spherical vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes which are capable of breaking down several biomolecule forms. A lysosome, including its membrane proteins as well as its lumenal proteins, has a special structure. Thus, option A is not the correct option.
- A vacuole is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in cells of plants and fungi and certain cells of protists, animals and bacteria. Vacuoles are basically sealed compartments filled with water comprising inorganic and organic compounds, like enzymes, but they can include solids that have been swallowed in some instances. Thus, option B is not the correct option.
- The Golgi apparatus is capable of functioning. It generates secretion compounds, participates in membrane transformation, the formation of a variety of glycoprotein products, diverse heteropolysaccharides, hormones, glycolipids, connective tissue matrix, connective tissue matrix, human sperm acrosome, middle plant cell wall lamella, and lysosomes.
- A membrane-enclosed organelle present in algae, plant cells, and some other eukaryotic species is the plastid. They are known as Gloeomargarita-related endosymbiotic cyanobacteria. Thus, option D is not the correct option.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) Golgi apparatus.

Note: In mammals, present in the cell nucleus, near to the centrosome, a single Golgi apparatus is normally located. It is the duty of tubular connections to bind the stacks together. The Golgi apparatus' localization and tubular relations are based on microtubules.
