Which organelle is responsible for the post-translational modification, sorting, and packaging of proteins into secretory vesicles?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus acts as the cell's processing and dispatch center. It receives proteins from the rough ER, modifies them with carbohydrates (glycosylation), and packages them for transport to their final destinations.
