2.  A.K.A. The Golgi body or Golgi complex found in both plant and animal cells.  Functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transportation.

3.  Comprised of a series of five to eight cup- shaped, membrane-covered sacs called cisternae.  As many as 60 cisternae may combine to make up the Golgi apparatus.  A striking feature of the Golgi apparatus is its distinct polarity in both structure and function.

4.  Proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides enter at the Cis Face  Trans face network: sorting and distribution center.  Destination: Lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or the cell exterior

5.  Animal cells  Contain between ten and twenty Golgi stacks per cell.  Linked into a single complex by tubular connections between cisternae.  Plant cells  Golgi Apparatus serves as the site at which the complex polysaccharides of the cell wall are synthesized.  Processes the broad range of cellular constituents that travel along the secretory pathway.

6.  Alzheimer's disease the Golgi apparatus of a population of neurons without neurofibrillary tangles is fragmented and atrophic.

7.  What is the function of the Golgi Apparatus? A. Produce proteins B. Process and sort proteins for transportation C. Provide the energy for a cell D. Non of the Above  Which part of the cell does the Cis Face, face? A. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum B. Mitochondria C. Nucleus D. Lysosomes
