Golgi+Apparatus



=**Introduction** = This picture up on top shows the Golgi Apparatus. The Golgi apparatus is an organelle where proteins (after they are made) are transported to. It is a flattened stack of tubular membranes that modifies proteins. It sorts proteins into packages and store them in Vesicles. The Golgi Apparatus is usually located near the nucleus of the cells. The Golgi Apparatus needs to modify, package and distribute proteins, and other macromolecules through out the body of a plant. **Structure** Golgi Apparatus could be found in a both plant and animal cells. The Golgi is built of stacks of membrane-bound structures known as cisternae also individual stack is called a dictyosome**.** Dictyosome is Greek wich we had dose words for root word quiz and dictyon means net and soma means body. These are espesially in a plant cells. Normally a mammalian cell contains 40 to 100 stacks. " Each cisterna comprises a flat, membrane enclosed disc that includes special Golgi enzymes which modify cargo proteins that travel through it".

=Function = The Golgi apparatus is basic in modifying, sorting, and packaging these macromolecules for cell flow, or use in the cell. It pretty much modifies proteins delivered from the " rough endoplasmic reticulum " but it also involved in transport lipids around the cell, and in the creation of lysosomes. Pretty much it is like a post office. It packages and labels them and then sends them to its cells. Enzymes in the cisternae are able to modefy proteins by adding of carbohydrates and phosphates.

=**Discovery** = The Golgi Apparatus was discovered in 1906 by two scientists names Golgi and Santiago Ramon y Cajal Who were letter awarded the Nobel prize for their discovery. The Golgi Apparatus was discovered by being abserved under an microscope and closely looked at.
