incoming transport vesicle
newly forming vesicle
Secretory vesicle
Golgi Apparatus
It modifies many cellular products that enter, and prepares them for export!
The sacs nearest the nucleus recieve vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum containing newly made proteins or lipids.
The Golgi Apparatus is a system of flattened, membranous sacs that helps with making and packaging materials that will be transported out of the cell.
Lumen
Vesicles
Cisternae
These vesicles then travel from one part of the Golgi complex to the next and they transport the substances as they go!
Golgi Complex
The lumen is the space inside a tubular structure.
The cisternae compromise flattened membrane disks that make up the Golgi apparatus. There are about 3-7 cisternae in a Golgi body. They are stacked on top of each other like dinner plates. The cisternae carry Golgi enzymes to help modify proteins that move through them.
The Golgi apparatus serves as a processing center for the exporting of proteins, lipids and other large molecules to their destinations outside of the cell.
Shape and Function
The Golgi Apparatus is a membrane-bound organelle and it allows the transported vesicles to attactch to the outer plasma membrane.
