a net-like structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells (especially in those cells that produce secretions)
GOL-gee bod-ee A system of flat, stacked, membrane-bounded sacs where sugars are polymerized to starches or bonded to proteins or lipids. 71
An organelle present in eukaryotic cells that functions as a collection and/ or packaging center for substances that the cell manufacturers for transport. Especially useful in protein distribution.
Golgi bodies are cellular organelles that lie in the cytoplasm. They work to move proteins throughout the cell.
Organelle that sorts, modifies, and packages molecules.
(also called the golgi apparatus or colgi complex) a flattened, layered, sac-like organelle that looks like a stack of pancakes and is located near the nucleus. It produces the membranes that surround the lysosomes. The golgi body packages proteins and carbohydrates into membrane-bound vesicles for "export" from the cell.
any particle that is part of the Golgi apparatus
