Question

Which is the important site for the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids in eukaryotic cells?

• A. Peroxisomes
• B. Golgibodies
• C. Polysomes
• D. Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Golgibodies

• The Golgi apparatus is the important site for the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids.

• This organelle receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and then modifies, sorts, and packages them.

• A key modification that occurs in the Golgi is glycosylation, which is the addition of carbohydrate groups to proteins and lipids to form glycoproteins and glycolipids, respectively
