- A.Respiration in bacteria
- B.Formation of secretory vesicles✓
- C.Fatty acid breakdown
- D.Activation of amino acid
Correct Answer
(B) Formation of secretory vesicles
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (B) Formation of secretory vesicles Solution: The Golgi apparatus principally performs packaging of materials to be delivered to intracellular targets or secreted outside the cell, doing so in the form of vesicles. The other options relate to bacterial mesosomes (respiration), peroxisomes/SER and ribosomes/tRNA (amino-acid activation), not the Golgi. Hence the Golgi complex participates in formation of secretory vesicles. NCERT Reference: Ch 8, p.96, lines 13–16: "The golgi apparatus principally performs the function of packaging materials, to be delivered either to the intra-cellular targets or secreted outside the cell. Materials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the ER fuse with the cis face of the golgi apparatus"
