List the three major functions of the Golgi apparatus.
A)The Golgi apparatus (1)synthesizes lipids,(2)synthesizes carbohydrates,and (3)synthesizes proteins.
B)The Golgi apparatus (1)provides physical isolation for the cell,(2)provides structural support,and (3)regulates the exchange of materials with the environment.
C)The Golgi apparatus (1)organizes microtubules in the spindle to move chromosomes during cell division,(2)moves material through the cytoplasm,and (3)detects environmental stimuli.
D)The Golgi apparatus (1)renews or modifies the plasma membrane,(2)modifies and packages cellular secretions,and (3)packages special enzymes within vesicles (lysosomes)for use within the cell.
E)The Golgi apparatus (1)removes damaged organelles,(2)fuses with vesicles containing fluids or solids from the external environment to obtain nutrients,and (3)breaks down and releases digestive enzymes to cause destruction to the cell (autolysis).

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three major functions of the Golgi apparatus are to renew or modify the plasma membrane, modify and package cellular secretions, and package special enzymes within vesicles (lysosomes) for use within the cell. The Golgi apparatus does not synthesize lipids, carbohydrates, or proteins (choice A), provide physical isolation or structural support (choice B), organize microtubules or detect environmental stimuli (choice C), remove damaged organelles or fuse with external vesicles (choice E), or release digestive enzymes to cause destruction to the cell (autolysis).
