Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to package the materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum and deliver it to intracellular targets and outside the cell.
Reason (R): Vesicles containing materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, and they are modified and released from the trans face of the Golgi apparatus.

• A. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
• B. A is true but R is false.
• C. A is false but R is true.
• D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Hint:

Golgi = Post office of the cell (receives, processes, ships).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Both the assertion and reason are accurate and directly related. The Golgi apparatus receives proteins and lipids from the ER, processes and modifies them (e.g., glycosylation, sorting), and then packages them into vesicles for delivery to various destinations within the cell or for secretion outside the cell. The cis face is the receiving side, and the trans face is the shipping side of the Golgi.
