Here's how it works:
* The Golgi apparatus is a stack of flattened membrane-bound sacs called cisternae.
* Proteins and lipids synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are transported to the Golgi.
* As these molecules move through the Golgi, they are modified, sorted, and packaged into vesicles.
* These vesicles then bud off from the Golgi and can be used for:
* Storage: Holding molecules for later use.
* Transport: Delivering molecules to other organelles or the cell membrane for secretion.
