Angela Mallozzi and Angela Phillips Golgi Apparatus Angela Mallozzi and Angela Phillips
Golgi Apparatus Discovered in 1898 by Camillo Golgi Found in most eukaryotic cells Located in both plant and animal cells
Functions The Golgi apparatus is considered more or less the “postal office” of the cell.
Function It handles all incoming lipids, proteins, and controls their export as well
Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Apparatus Sorts various proteins within the vesicles and helps them to be delivered throughout the cell via the endoplasmic reticulum.
Alzheimer’s Disease Impairments in the axons and presynaptic terminals of a nerve can be caused by the disintegration of the Golgi. The Golgi apparatus can be atrophic and fragmented.
Questions Which part of the Golgi apparatus receives vesicles from the Endoplasmic reticulum? Medial Cis Trans Which of the following does not happen to the Golgi Apparatus as the result of Alzheimer’s Disease? Atrophic Fragmented Enlarges the Golgi apparatus
