What is the function of the Golgi apparatus in a eukaryotic cell?
Options
A ATP production
B Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins
Correct Answer
C DNA replication
D Synthesizing ribosomes
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The Golgi apparatus receives vesicles of proteins from the rough ER. It modifies these proteins (e.g., adding carbohydrate groups), sorts them, and packages them into vesicles for transport to their final destinations (secretion, plasma membrane, lysosomes).

Hint

It's the cell's 'post office' or 'shipping center'.
