Here's why:
* Storage: The Golgi apparatus acts like a sorting center, receiving proteins and lipids (fats) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It then modifies and packages these molecules into vesicles (small sacs).
* Packaging: These vesicles can then be transported to other parts of the cell or even secreted outside the cell. This allows the cell to distribute necessary materials where they're needed.
