Which of the following statements are correct with respect to 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 :
Answer: (D) (A) and (C) only. Answer: (D) (A) and (C) only Solution: (A) is correct — the Golgi apparatus is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids; (C) is correct — proteins synthesised by ribosomes on the ER are modified in the Golgi cisternae.
- A.(A) and (D) only
- B.(D) and (E) only
- C.(B) and (C) only
- D.(A) and (C) only✓
Correct Answer
(D) (A) and (C) only
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (D) (A) and (C) only Solution: (A) is correct — the Golgi apparatus is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids; (C) is correct — proteins synthesised by ribosomes on the ER are modified in the Golgi cisternae. (B) is wrong (ATP is produced by mitochondria, not Golgi), and (D)/(E) (ion transport, mechanical support) are not Golgi functions. So only (A) and (C) are correct. NCERT Reference: Ch 8, p.96, lines 18–22: "A number of proteins synthesised by ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum are modified in the cisternae of the golgi apparatus before they are released from its trans face. Golgi apparatus is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids."
