Golgi Apparatus

The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi bodies, are used as vesicles in which proteins from the rough ER are packaged and moved to either lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or for secretion. The Golgi bodies function in plants slightly different because they serve as the site at which the complex polysaccharides of the cell wall are synthesized.
