The Golgi apparatus is a structure present in cells that plays an important role in modifying, sorting, and distributing proteins and lipids. It functions as a processing and shipping center within the cell.
Its main function is to receive proteins and lipids synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and modify them so they can perform their specific functions in the cell or be transported to other parts of the organism.
It’s like a sort of “cellular post office,” ensuring that molecules reach their correct destination and perform their functions properly.
