Golgi bodies serve to package and secrete proteins meant for intracellular or extracellular destinations.
Explanation:
Golgi bodies are rather like post offices that pack and label items to be transported away from their sites of synthesis.
Golgi bodies are part of the endomembrane system of a cell.
Proteins are packed into membrane bound vesicles.
Golgi bodies contain a set of glycosylation enzymes that attach various sugar monomers to proteins as the proteins move through the apparatus.
Golgi bodies differ in complexity across life forms.
Antibody plasma B cells,involved in immunity systems, have large Golgi bodies as these cells have prominent secretory activities.
