Question:

Which cell organelle performs the principal function of packaging materials?

Options:

Endoplasmic reticulum

Golgi apparatus

Lysosome

Vacuoles

Correct Answer:

Golgi apparatus

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2)- Golgi apparatus

The cell organelle that performs the principal function of packaging materials is the Golgi apparatus.

The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging macromolecules for cell secretion or for use within the cell. It receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum, processes them, and then packages them into vesicles for transport to their final destination. The Golgi apparatus plays a crucial role in the secretion of proteins, the formation of lysosomes, and the transportation of materials within the cell.
