Download What is the Golgi Apparatus?

By: Isiah A. Curry & Robert Bocan


A.K.A. The Golgi body or Golgi complex
found in both plant and animal cells.
Functions as a factory in which proteins
received from the ER are further processed
and sorted for transportation.



Comprised of a series of five to eight cupshaped, membrane-covered sacs called
cisternae.
As many as 60 cisternae may combine to
make up the Golgi apparatus.
A striking feature of the Golgi apparatus is its
distinct polarity in both structure and
function.



Proteins, lipids, and
polysaccharides enter
at the Cis Face
Trans face network:
sorting and
distribution center.
Destination:
Lysosomes, the plasma
membrane, or the cell
exterior



Animal cells
Contain between ten
and twenty Golgi
stacks per cell.
Linked into a single
complex by tubular
connections between
cisternae.



Plant cells
Golgi Apparatus serves
as the site at which the
complex
polysaccharides of the
cell wall are
synthesized.
Processes the broad
range of cellular
constituents that travel
along the secretory
pathway.

Alzheimer's disease the Golgi apparatus of a
population of neurons without neurofibrillary
tangles is fragmented and atrophic.


