Flashcards
Golgi Apparatus
Golgi Apparatus
Organelle composed of cisternae, vesicles, and vacuoles near the nucleus; modifies, packages, and transports cell secretions like enzymes and hormones.
Cisternae
Cisternae
Small groups of hollow, tubular, membranous structures forming the Golgi complex; associated with vesicles and vacuoles.
Dictyosomes
Dictyosomes
The term for Golgi complexes when they are found in plant cells. They have scattered groups of cisternae and vesicles.
Study Notes
- The Golgi apparatus appears as granules, filaments, or rods.
- It is believed to originate from the endoplasmic reticulum.
- The Golgi apparatus consists of small vesicles of various shapes that are typically located near the nucleus.
- It comprises small groups of hollow tubular structures with membranous walls called cisternae.
- Minute vesicles and vacuoles are associated with the cisternae.
- In plants, Golgi complexes are known as dictyosomes.
- Dictyosomes have smaller and more scattered groups of cisternae and vesicles compared to Golgi complexes.
- Both Golgi Complexes and dictyosomes are involved in the secretion of enzymes and hormones.
- They are also responsible for packaging and transporting these secretions to different locations within the cell.
