Answer: A watery substance where cell processes take place.

All cells share four common components: (1) a plasma membrane, an outer covering that separates the cell’s interior from its surrounding environment; (2) cytoplasm, consisting of a jelly-like region within the cell in which other cellular components are found; (3) DNA, the genetic material of the cell; and (4) …

In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm includes all of the material inside the cell and outside of the nucleus. All of the organelles in eukaryotic cells, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, are located in the cytoplasm.

Cytoplasmic organelles are “little organs” that are suspended in the cytoplasm of the cell. Each type of organelle has a definite structure and a specific role in the function of the cell. Examples of cytoplasmic organelles are mitochondrion, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.

Functions: protects cellular contents; makes contact of other cells contains channels, transporters, receptors, enzymes and cell identity markers; meditates the entry and exit substance. Cellular contents between the plasma membrane and nucleus, including cytosol and organelles.

cellular material outside the nucleus inside the plasma membrane. It is the site of most cellular activities, so you might think of it as the factory area of the cell.

The Golgi Apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or release outside the cell. Vacuoles store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.

Figure 1: The Golgi apparatus modifies and sorts proteins for transport throughout the cell. The Golgi apparatus is often found in close proximity to the ER in cells. Each cisterna or region of the Golgi contains different protein modification enzymes.

A Golgi body, also known as a Golgi apparatus, is a cell organelle that helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell. Named after its discoverer, Camillo Golgi, the Golgi body appears as a series of stacked membranes.

The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion. In addition, as noted earlier, glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized within the Golgi.

The organelle that packages proteins is the golgi apparatus. Proteins are created in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is another organelle found…
