The Golgi Apparatus

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The Golgi apparatus is a stack of flattened sacs that sorts, tags, and packages the lipids and proteins the ER delivers to it.

Show

Vesicles from the ER fuse with the Golgi's cis face; tagged proteins bud off from its opposite trans face.

Watch for

Cis and trans name entry and exit points of one continuous stack, not separate structures.
