The Golgi body receives proteins from the (A) __________, "packages" those proteins and "ships" them to other areas of the cell, or to the (B) ________ for secretion.
To answer your question, let's break it down:
(A) The Golgi body receives proteins from the __________.
The Golgi body receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ER is a network of membranes responsible for protein synthesis and transport within the cell. It acts as a manufacturing and packaging system for proteins.
(B) The Golgi body "packages" those proteins and "ships" them to other areas of the cell, or to the ________ for secretion.
The Golgi body packages proteins into vesicles (small sacs) and then transports them to other areas of the cell or to the cell membrane for secretion. When proteins are destined for secretion, they are transported to the cell membrane and released outside the cell through a process called exocytosis.
So, to answer your question directly:
(A) The Golgi body receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
(B) The Golgi body "packages" those proteins and "ships" them to other areas of the cell, or to the cell membrane for secretion.
