The function of the Golgi apparatus is that it modifies, sorts, and packages proteins.
It receives protein from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and prepares them for secretion from the cell. This often involves adding carbohydrates to the proteins to make glycoproteins.
The Golgi apparatus in an animal cell functions to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport to their appropriate destinations within or outside the cell. It acts as a crucial organelle in the cellular secretory pathways.
From Wikipedia "The Golgi apparatus is integral in modifying, sorting, and packaging...macromolecules for cell secretion (exocytosis) or use within the cell."
This is a really good explanation of the major function of the golgi. I like to think of it as like a FedEx store where you take in the things you want to send and they package it up and send it. Wikipedia has a really good write up on the golgi and if you have any more questions you should check there.
The nucleus is the main office of a factory. This is where plans are drafted and drawn up to make proteins. These instructions are sent to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). This is the factory floor. Each work station is a ribosome. These ribosomes make the proteins. The mitochondria are the power houses. The Golgibody is the shipping department. It sends out the proteins that the cell needs. The vacuoles are the trash bins. There are parts which are brought out when needed as in cell division: centrioles and fibers.
The Golgi further modifies modified proteins that have come from the ER, packages them in vesicles and ships them where needed inside the cell and outside the cell. The Golgi is also the site of lysosome synthesis.
The Golgi apparatus is associated with:
# Glycosylating (adding sugar groups to) proteins
# Packaging proteins in vesicles and sending them to different cellular locations
The answer for this question is...... it sort out all the proteins to the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Is the Golgi apparatus a plant or animal cell?
it is both animal and plant
Does animal cells contain gogli apparatus?
Yes, animal cells do contain a Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing and packaging proteins within the cell before they are transported to their final destination inside or outside of the cell.
What is Golgi apparatus do in a animal cell?
The Golgi Bodies transports all the proteins and enzymes to the target places which are secreted by the Ribosomes in the animal cell.
What part of a cell sorts and packages proteins?
The packaging and sorting of proteins is a function of the Golgi complex also known as the Golgi apparatus.
Is Golgi is both plant and animal cells?
Yes, the Golgi apparatus is found in both plant and animal cells. It is responsible for processing and packaging proteins and lipids that are synthesized by the cell. The Golgi apparatus consists of flattened sacs called cisternae.
Do animal cell have Golgi apparatus?
yes animal have the golgi apparatus
Is Golgi apparatus in plants or animal cell?
The Golgi Apparatus, or Golgi Body, appears in both plant and animal cells. It's function is to receive food from the Endoplasmic Reticulum, package it, and send it to organelles throughout the cell.Yes, both plant and animal cells have Golgi bodies/apparatus
Is the Golgi apparatus plant or animal cell?
The Golgi Apparatus, or Golgi Body, appears in both plant and animal cells. It's function is to receive food from the Endoplasmic Reticulum, package it, and send it to organelles throughout the cell.Yes, both plant and animal cells have Golgi bodies/apparatus
Why is Golgi apparatus called traffice police of the cell?
because the Golgi apparatus are the important & main function of the cell answer is finish

both
What is one of the Organelles in an animal cell?
Golgi Apparatus
