Golgi apparatus regions — key?
Cis, medial, trans; each has distinct functions.
Golgi apparatus structure
Stacked membranes near nucleus that process proteins.
Cis vs trans faces — difference?
Cis receives ER cargo; trans sorts and ships it out.
Dictyosome composition
Multiple sacs separated by hyaloplasmic bands.
Hyaloplasmic band
Space between Golgi sacs.
Golgi functions
Glycosylation and protein processing.
Golgi faces
cis (entry), trans (exit) faces.
ERGIC role
Supplies cargo to cis-Golgi.
Trans-Golgi network
Sorts cargo, forms secretory vesicles.
Test your knowledge with 11 questions on Cellular Sorting and Digestion Organelles.
1. Which Golgi face receives cargo from the ERGIC and is also called the CGN face?
2. What is the main structural feature of the Golgi apparatus that consists of a stack of curved, membrane-bound sacs stabilized by cytoskeletal elements?
