Golgi
apparatus is a group of flattened membranous cisternae formed from
vesicles that pinch off of the ER and coalesce.
- Polypeptides in the cisternae
are glycosylated and otherwise modified in the Golgi complex.
- At the “maturing” face of the
Golgi, new vesicles pinch off and are sorted to different
destinations according to their contents.
- Most such vesicles either
secrete their contents by exocytosis or remain in the cytoplasm
as lysosomes or peroxisomes.
- The Golgi is generally difficult
to see by LM, but examine the ultrastructural views and diagrams
of this structure in.

and trans Golgi mean?
