Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Golgi Body


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.
