1. The Golgi Apparatus

2. Defining:
Golgi apparatus – a group of flattened stacks of membranes ( Golgi body)
Cisternae – individual stacks of membranes ( Latin “ collecting vessels”
Cisternae vary in number within the golgi apparatus, depending on what kind of cell they are in

3. Functions: Collection of molecules Packaging of molecules
Distribution of molecules
The synthesis of cell wall components

4. Parts:
Transport vesicles – transport non synthesized materials from ER ( Endoplasmic reticulum)
Lumen – storage for materials before going to the cis face
Cis face – front, receiving end, located near ER, materials arrive via transport vesicles

5. Parts:
Trans face – back, exit, materials are discharged into secretory vesicles
Secretory vesicles – carry synthesized materials to their correct location
Lysosomes – digestive vesicles, contain high levels of degrading enzymes

6. Collecting, Packaging, & Distribution
Transport vesicles bring materials into the cis face, cis face synthesizes and moves materials into the trans face
Trans face sends synthesized materials into secretory vesicles which then send them into their proper locations

7. Synthesis: Cell wall components
Noncellulose polysaccharides which form part of the cell walls in plants get synthesized
After they are synthesized, they get sent to the plasma membrane, they are added to cellulose
When added to cellulose, it is assembled on the exterior part of the cell wall
