1. The Golgi Apparatus Joshua Rodriguez Bio 4 Honors

2. What is the Golgi Apparatus? An organelle located within the cell Acts as a “warehouse” for receiving, sorting, shipping and some manufacturing products Products are modified and stored and then sent to other destinations

3. Anatomy of the Golgi Cisternae- flattened membranous sacs Cisternae separate internal space from cytosol Cis Face- receiving side of the golgi (located near the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)) Trans Face- shipping side of the golgi

4. What does it look like?

5. Functions of the Golgi Helps modify carbohydrates by removing certain sugar monomers Manufactures some macromolecules (like pectins in plant golgi’s)

6. What allows it to function? Cisternae contains unique groups of enzymes Enzymes allow the golgi to manufacture and refine product

7. The Golgi Model Today Was considered to be static New evidence gives rise to the Cisternal Maturation Model of the golgi Targets products by adding “identification tags” such as phosphate groups to products Transported products may have external molecules that help with determining destinations
