Answer:
Golgi body receives, packages/modifies, then sends proteins and other cellular materials to various destinations. So, it is MOST like a post office.
Explanation:
The Golgi bodies are made up of 4 to 8 cup-shaped, series of compartments known as cisternae which are flattened, disk-shaped, stacked pouches and connected by tubular connections.
Golgi bodies has following functions:
- Its main function is the packaging, modification and secretion of proteins. It receives proteins from Endoplasmic Reticulum. It packages it into membrane-bound vesicles, which are then transported to various destinations, such as lysosomes, plasma membrane or secretion. They also take part in the transport of lipids and the formation of lysosomes.
- Enzymatic processing and post-translational modification occur near the membrane surface in Golgi bodies, e.g. phosphorylation, glycosylation, etc.
- Golgi apparatus is the site for the synthesis of various glycolipids, glycoproteins, etc.
