Golgi apparatus

Name :- Golgi apparatus, Golgi body, Golgi complex, Post office of the cell, Shipping department of the cell (Camillo Golgi (1898) first discovered, hence the name is Golgi).

Properties :
  • It is an membrane bound organelle situated near the nucleus.
  • It is present in all cells except RBCs.
  • Usually, each cell has one Golgi apparatus.
  • Each Golgi apparatus consists of 5-8 flattened membranous sacs called cisternae (0.5-1.0 micrometer).
  • Golgi apparatus has two ends or faces, namely cis face (situated near the endoplasmic reticulum) and trans face (situated near the cell membrane).
Functions :
Major functions of Golgi apparatus are processing, packing, labeling and delivery of proteins and lipids to different part of the cell or outside of the cell.
  1. Processing :- glycoproteins and lipids are modified here.
  2. Packaging :- modified materials are packed in the form of secretory granules, secretory vesicles and lysosomes.
  3. Labeling and delivery :- Golgi apparatus sort out the processed materials and labels them (such as phosphate group) then distribute in or out side of the cell according to demand.

Lysosomes

Name :- Lysosomes, garbage system of the cell, suicidal bag of the cell Properties : These are membrane bound vesicular structures founds throughout the cytoplasm. These are formed by the process of packaging in the golgi apparatus. Enzymes of lysosomes are synthesized in rough endoplasmic reticulum. Among the organelles, the lysosomes have the thickest covering membrane that is formed by a bilayered lipid material . Lysosomes have 50 different hydrolytic enzymes, known as acid hydroxylases. Types of Lysosomes : Primary lysosomes, this is an inactive of form of lysosomes. Secondary lysosomes, this is an active form of lysosomes (lysosomes active during phagosome or endosome and at this time lysosomes pH become acidic and enzymes are activate). Lysosomal Enzymes :   Proteases :- which hydrolyze the proteins into amino acids. Lipases :- which hydrolyze the lipids into fatty acids and glycerides. Amylases :- which hydrolyze the polysaccharides into glucose. Nucleases :-...
