Golgi Apparatus

BENEFITS OF THE GOLGI APPARATUS

• Found in many cells; plants and animal!
• Creates lysosomes which assist in the clean up of the cell!
• Modifies proteins and lipids for your organelle's needs!
• Rations and distributes macromolecules throughout the cell!
• Helps with membrane repair and cellular signaling

The Golgi In The Wild

WHY THE ROUGH ER DOESNT DESERVE A VOTE

• Associated with Vascular and Cardiac Diseases
• At points organ disfunction occurs due to misfolded proteins within the cell
• Rough ER can lead to dwarfism which is due to the Rough ER stopping storage
• Maybe the Rough ER needs a slip from the Golgi instead
• Making proteins that go no where seems pretty useless to me
