The 'cis' and 'trans' faces are characteristic structural features of which organelle?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus has a 'cis' face (receiving side) located near the ER and a 'trans' face (shipping side) that points toward the plasma membrane. This polarity ensures a one-way flow of material through the organelle.
