Golgi Body (Apparatus) David and Moses Bio 4H Dr. Cindy Shannon
Discovery • Camillo Golgi, who identified it in 1898. • Due to his ego, like Most scientist, named it after himself
Structure • A group of flattened cavities, is located near the nucleus.(membrane bound) • Called cisternae • Normally 5-8 stacks • Major regions The cis-golgi Medial-golgi Trans-golgi
Location • In a cell - Outside the nucleolus • Floating in the cytoplasm • Near the E.R and Nucleus
Function • Called the mail office of the cell • First modification of lipids and proteins • Storage and packaging of materials that will be exported from the cell. • transport of lipids around the cell
Functioning • take enzymes and other proteins that have been synthesised in the endoplasmic reticulum and package them into membrane-bound vesicles. • processing of proteins for secretion. • The appearance of the Golgi Body is constantly changing as material comes in on one side from the ER and is lost from the other as completed vesicles ‘bud off’. Such vesicles transport materials to other parts of the cell, or fuse with the cell surface membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell.
Bibliography • Ill find them later and put it on here.
