Cells synthesise a large number of different macromolecules required for life. The Golgi apparatus is integral in modifying, sorting, and packaging these substances for cell secretion (exocytosis) or for use within the cell. It primarily modifies proteins delivered from the rough endoplasmic reticulum, but is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosome. In this respect it can be thought of as similar to a post office; it packages and labels "items" and then sends them to different parts of the cell.

Enzymes within the cisternae are able to modify substances by the addition of carbohydrates (glycosylation) and phosphate (phosphorylation) to them. Proteins are also labelled with a signal sequence of molecules which determine their final destination. For example, the Golgi apparatus adds a mannose-6-phosphate label to proteins destined for lysosomes.

Vesicles which leave the rough endoplasmic reticulum are transported to the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, where they fuse with the Golgi membrane and empty their contents into the lumen. Once inside they are modified, sorted, and shipped towards their final destination. As such, the Golgi apparatus tends to be more prominent and numerous in cells synthesising and secreting many substances: plasma B cells, the antibody-secreting cells of the immune system, have prominent Golgi complexes.

Once the proteins reach the trans face, they are placed into coated transport vesicles and bud off to reach their final destinations. The form of the vesicle is determined by the type of protein and the label it acquired.

digestion of damaged organelles by the acid hydrolases enzyme contained in lysosomes

site of protein synthesis is the rough endoplasmic reticulum

cellular respiration respiration occurs in mitohcondria

the golgi body is reponsible for packaging and dispatch of protiens secreted by the Rough ER

none, lysosomes digest damaged organelles, protein synthesis takes place in ribosomes or rough er, cellular respiration takes place in botht the cytosol and mitochondria, and mitochondria generates the most atp thru glycolysis-chemiosmosis-or fermentation
