(B) It produces cellular energy in the form of ATP. (C) It modifies the protein synthesized by ribosomes on ER. (D) It facilitates the transport of ions. (E) It provides mechanical support. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A
(B) and (C) only
B
(A) and (C) only
C
(A) and (D) only
D
(D) and (E) only
Detailed Solution
The Golgi apparatus is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids (A is correct), and it modifies proteins synthesised by ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum (C is correct). It does not produce cellular ATP (that's the mitochondrion's role; B is incorrect), does not facilitate ion transport (D is incorrect - that's more a function of specific membrane transporters/vacuoles), and does not provide mechanical support (E is incorrect). So A and C only.
