Which of the following statements are correct with respect of Golgi apparatus ?

(A) It is the important site of formation of glycoprotein and glycolipids.

(B) It produces cellular energy in the form of ATP.

(C) It modifies the protein synthesized by ribosomes on ER.

(D) It facilitates the transport of ions.

(E) It provides mechanical support.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. A
    (B) and (C) only

Correct answer: B

The Golgi apparatus, sometimes called the Golgi body or Golgi complex, plays a critical role in the processing and packaging of proteins and lipids following their synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum. It also has a role in the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids.

So, among the given statements :

(A) It is the important site of formation of glycoprotein and glycolipids - This statement is correct.

(B) It produces cellular energy in the form of ATP - This statement is incorrect. The mitochondria, not the Golgi apparatus, are responsible for the production of ATP.

(C) It modifies the protein synthesized by ribosomes on ER - This statement is correct. The Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins received from the ER.

(D) It facilitates the transport of ions - This statement is not generally correct. Ion transport is primarily facilitated by the plasma membrane and ion channels.

(E) It provides mechanical support - This statement is incorrect. While the Golgi apparatus does help maintain cellular structure to a degree, its main role is in processing and packaging substances, not providing mechanical support.

So the most appropriate answer from the options given would be Option B : (A) and (C) only.
