  1. Golgi Body Alexandra Aggidis Structure, Function and how the structure helps the function…

  2. Structure • A group of flattened cavities, is located near the nucleus.

  3. Function • To take enzymes and other proteins that have been synthesised in the endoplasmic reticulum and to package them into membrane-bound vesicles. • The appearance of the Golgi Body is constantly changing as material comes in on one side from the ER and is lost from the other as completed vesicles ‘bud off’. Such vesicles transport materials to other parts of the cell, or fuse with the cell surface membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell.

  4. How structure helps function? • The structure of the Golgi apparatus supports its function. Electron microscopy indicates that the structure resembles interconnected, deflated balls or bags. • One end serves as a “receiving point,” the other a “shipping center,” and the middle contains molecules that sort products and synthesize vesicles to surround them.
