THE GOLGI COMPLEX
The Golgi complex
modifies and packages the glycoprotein. The Golgi
complex also is a membranous structure that contains
enzymes. It can contain phospholipids (C, H, O,
P) and protein (C, H, O, N, and often S). Depending
on their exact contents, some of these vesicles
migrate to the plasma membrane where they fuse
with the plasma membrane, and vesicle contents
are released outside the cell.
Lysosomes, small sacs of digestive
enzymes, are also formed from the Golgi complex.
The digestive enzymes found in lysosomes are synthesized
in the rough ER. The lysosome's enzymes break
down bacteria and debris in the cell.
