Processes in the Golgi Apparatus

Question 1

Step 1

Answer 1

Nucleus contains genetic code to synthesise proteins

Question 2

Step 2

Answer 2

Proteins are synthesised at ribosomes on the RER and vesicles containing proteins are pinched off from the RER

Question 3

Step 3

Answer 3

These vesicles then fuse with and release their contents into the GA. The proteins are modified and repackaged inside the GA

Question 4

Step 4

Answer 4

Secretory vesicles contains these modified proteins are pinched off from the GA. They then move on to the cell surface membrane

Question 5

Step 5

Answer 5

The secretory vesicles fuse with the cell surface membrane and their contents are released outside the cell
