Cells synthesise a large number of different macromolecules required for life. The Golgi apparatus is integral in modifying, sorting, and packaging these substances for cell secretion (exocytosis) or for use within the cell. It primarily modifies proteins delivered from the rough endoplasmic reticulum, but is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosome. 

<span>Enzymes within the cisternae are able to modify substances by the addition of carbohydrates (glycosylation) and phosphate (phosphorylation) to them. Proteins are also labelled with a signal sequence of molecules which determine their final destination. For example, the Golgi apparatus adds a mannose-6-phosphate label to proteins destined for lysosomes. </span>

<span>Vesicles which leave the rough endoplasmic reticulum are transported to the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, where they fuse with the Golgi membrane and empty their contents into the lumen. Once inside they are modified, sorted, and shipped towards their final destination. As such, the Golgi apparatus tends to be more prominent and numerous in cells synthesising and secreting many substances: plasma B cells, the antibody-secreting cells of the immune system, have prominent Golgi complexes. </span>

<span>Once the proteins reach the trans face, they are placed into coated transport vesicles and bud off to reach their final destinations. The form of the vesicle is determined by the type of protein and the label it acquired.</span>

How come one type of matter can be converted to a totally different one?
wariber [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

En física, la materia es todo aquello que se extiende en cierta región del espacio-tiempo, que posee energía y está sujeto a cambios en el tiempo y a interacciones con aparatos de medida. Se considera que es lo que forma la parte sensible de los objetos perceptibles o detectables por medios físicos.

Etimológicamente, proviene del latín materia, que significa «sustancia de la que están hechas las cosas» y que también alude a la «madera dura del interior de un árbol»;1​ la palabra está relacionada con māter («origen, fuente, madre»)2​ y se corresponde con el griego hyle3​ (de hylos: «bosque, madera, leña, material»)4​5​ que es un concepto aristotélico de la teoría filosófica del hilemorfismo.6​

El uso moderno del término va más allá de la noción clásica de sustancia, y los físicos denominan materia a cualquier entidad cuya presencia en una cierta región del espacio-tiempo conlleva que el tensor energía-impulso para dicha región es diferente de cero.

5. What is the difference between locomotion in plants and animals?<br>pls help he guyzzz ​
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Animals can move, but plants cannot

Explanation:

Locomotion in humans and bipeds is accomplished through walking on legs. In other animals, it can be accomplished through walking on four limbs, flying, or swimming. In cells, cilia and flagella are used to move about. However, since plants are not capable of moving themselves, there is no locomotion of plant species.
