Question

question 8 of 15
which of the following statements best describes the function of the golgi apparatus?
a. signaling gene expression
b. engulfing nutrients
c. producing lysosomes
d. expelling wastes

Explanation:

The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell. One of its functions is to produce lysosomes by packaging hydrolytic enzymes into vesicles. Signaling gene expression is mainly related to transcription - factors and regulatory elements. Engulfing nutrients is a function of phagocytosis in some cells. Expelling wastes is more related to exocytosis or waste - management systems in cells not directly to the Golgi apparatus.

Answer:

C. Producing lysosomes
