GOLGI APPARATUS
GO 4 THE GOLD! VOTE GOLGI!!
What do I look like & what do I do
The Golgi Apparatus is a major part of the cell and belongs to all plant and animal cells. The Golgi apparatus takes proteins and lipids(fats) from the RER and puts these contents into a useable form for the cell. It looks like flattened stack of tubes and it makes and secretes mucus. The Golgi apparatus collects simple molecules to create more complex molecules. These complex molecules are then packed in the vesicles of the cell. From there, the contents can either move within the cell to the lysosomes, the cell membrane or the molecules can stored for later use or sent outside the cell. On the whole, the Golgi collects and processes the materials needed to be removed from the cell.
Without me...
Without the Golgi Apparatus the cell would not be able to process and package the materials, meaning the cell will not grow. Also, the cell would not be able to complete certain cell activities. The cell could not function as the materials are not processed into a useable form.
Why I'm important
The Golgi Apparatus is important to the cell because it takes the protein that the ribosomes make and are traveled through the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. From there, the Golgi apparatus puts the protein into a useable form for the rest of the cells organelles to use.

What would happen if a virus were to come into the cell? Not only the Golgi Apparatus, but all of the organelles would be destroyed... If the Lysosomes were not there to fight the virus. The Golgi would be helpless without us, the Lysosomes. Vote Lysosome, the defender of our cellular home.
ReplyDeleteBut without us you die, so we win!
DeleteIn fact, the lysosome can decompose matter like starch and oil to create energy thank you. So actually, the golgi is not needed in that case of energy creation.

ReplyDeleteGold is usually compared to things that are great, flawless and beneficial.. As far as I’m concerned, Golgi apparatus has intentions that does not fit the shoe. In case you “didn’t know”, a terrible disease that the Golgi body causes is Achondrogenesis, which is a group of severe disorders that affect cartilage, and bone development. This terrible disease is not the only disease that the Golgi apparatus can cause; the Golgi can cause many other terrible disease such as Alzheimer's which is an age-related, non-reversible brain disorder. Why would the most important organelle have such intentions, and drawbacks? A more suitable nickname for your Golgi apparatus would be copper, since it can also cause many diseases, such as the one you can cause: Alzheimer’s. Happy voting!
ReplyDeleteWell I don't know what shoe you're talking about because we have ours custom made. Don't worry about all those nasty disease because you know what worst then them? DIEING, which is what would happen without the golgi.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY VOTING!!
DeleteThat's cute. Hopefully your custom made shoes have good support and protection because you won't be getting any of that without the cell membrane. But yeah, happy voting!
Deletewho needs shoes anyways?
DeleteYou may not need shoes but you do need a cell membrane :)
ReplyDeleteYou say that the cell would not be able to survive without you, but why is it that you can package proteins? Oh! It's because you have energy! Where does this energy come from you ask? Oh that's right, the mitochondria.
ReplyDeleteAnd how does the mitochondria make energy? From the Golgi processing the materials YOU need to make energy :)
