Here's why:
* Cell Plate Formation: The cell plate is a structure that forms during cytokinesis (cell division) in plant cells. It eventually becomes the new cell wall separating the two daughter cells.
* Golgi's Role: The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids. In the case of cell plate formation, the Golgi packages cellulose and other cell wall components into vesicles.
* Vesicle Movement: These vesicles then migrate to the center of the dividing cell where they fuse with the cell plate, delivering the building blocks for the new cell wall.
So, the Golgi apparatus plays a crucial role in preparing the materials needed for cell plate formation in plants.
