Which cell membrane is a superimposed elastic sac of ER-like thickness, which helps in processing and packaging protein and lipid molecules, especially stable proteins?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Golgi apparatus.
The cell membrane you are referring to that is a superimposed elastic sac of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-like thickness and is involved in processing and packaging protein and lipid molecules, especially stable proteins, is known as the Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex.
The Golgi apparatus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells and is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids that are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum.
It consists of a series of flattened membrane-bound sacs called cisternae.
These cisternae are involved in processing and modifying proteins and lipids before they are transported to their final destinations within or outside the cell
