Which organelle modifies proteins by adding carbohydrate groups?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Golgi apparatus via glycosylation
The Golgi apparatus performs glycosylation — adding carbohydrate groups to proteins. This modification is crucial for proper protein function, targeting, and cell-surface recognition.
