Golgi Apparatus

• Made up of a series of membranes

  Involved in the formation of secretory vesicles

  If the Golgi packages digestive enzymes in them they form lysosomes
• Lysosomes

  Contain hydrolytic enzymes called lysins which break down organelles and cells such as pathogenic bacteria

  When a cell dies it undergoes autolysis under the direction of the lysosomes.
• How does the Golgi work?

  Receives protein from the RER

  Modifies proteins through the addition of a carbohydrate group or a lipid.
