The ______ principally performs the function of packaging materials, to be delivered either to the intra-cellular targets or secreted outside the cell.

golgi apparatus

The correct answer is Option (4) - golgi apparatus

The Golgi apparatus principally performs the function of packaging materials to be delivered either to intracellular targets or secreted outside the cell. After proteins and lipids are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum, they are transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they undergo further processing, sorting, and packaging into vesicles. These vesicles can then fuse with other cellular organelles for intracellular transport or merge with the cell membrane to release their contents outside the cell. Therefore, the Golgi apparatus acts as a distribution center, ensuring that proteins and lipids are properly sorted and directed to their intended destinations within or outside the cell.
