Question

what does golgi apparatus do

Answer 1

The main function of Golgi apparatus is to package and process the macromolecules like proteins, lipids etc. that are synthesized by the cell. It also helps in synthesis of substances like phospholipids and production of lysosomes.

Answer 2

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 lysosomes. In this respect it can be thought of as similar to a post office; it packages and labels items which it then sends to different parts of the cell.
