what is goLgi complex?(focus on its description and function)?

Answer 1

all the ansewers that have been posted thus far are wrong. the golgi complex aka the golgi apparatus is a network of neatly folded membranes that are located directly behind and are connected to the ER. the golgi complex takes the ribosomes and other things that the ER makes and ships them out all over the cell.

Answer 2

Integral membrane proteins that are syntheized in the ER then move in vesicles to the golgi complex. Some post translational modifications can occur at the golgi and then the protein is trafficked to it's destination in the cell..many times the cell surface like in the case of most receptors.

Answer 3

The process involved in creating a functional protein is pretty complex. The raw protein is first decoded from mRNA in the nucleus/rough endoplasmic reticulum (also called ER).

This protein can then be modified. This transformation is called the post-transcriptional maturation of the protein.

In the ER, you'll find complex modification such as the formation of disulfure bonds (covalent linking of cysteine) and other modification affecting the structure of the protein.

Afterwards, the proteins migrate to the Golgi apparatus which you can visualize as multiple sleeping bags on top of each other. The proteins, in this apparatus, recieve other kinds of modifications. Sugars are added on top of the primary structuce. Such sugars include dextrose, mannose ... These sugars can affect their function and especially their affinity to various receptors if it is a ligand.

The proteins migrate from one compartment to the other by vacuoles migrating fromt he center to the extremities of the apparatus.

Answer 4

its a structure inside your cell that has the function of protien modification its composed of multiple cristae that gives it an apearance that is similliar to a stack of pancakes

Answer 5

u consult any cytology book ok
