The flattened stacks of membrane typical of the Golgi apparatus are called which of the following?
A
Vesicles
B
Thylakoids
C
Cristae
D
Cisternae
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure and function of the Golgi apparatus, which is an organelle involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
Recognize that the Golgi apparatus is composed of a series of flattened, membrane-bound sacs.
Identify the term used to describe these flattened stacks of membrane in the Golgi apparatus.
Differentiate between the options provided: Vesicles are small membrane-bound sacs used for transport, Thylakoids are membrane structures found in chloroplasts, and Cristae are folds in the inner membrane of mitochondria.
Conclude that the correct term for the flattened stacks of membrane in the Golgi apparatus is 'Cisternae'.
