The cis face of the Golgi complex is most directly involved in which process?
A) Synthesizing proteins
B) Accepting vesicles from the ER
C) Packaging molecules in vesicles
D) Transporting molecules out of the Golgi
E) Catalyzing the efficient folding of proteins
Cis Face
The cis face refers to the side of the Golgi apparatus where proteins and other molecules enter. It is typically oriented towards the endoplasmic reticulum.
Golgi Complex
Organelle composed of stacks of flattened, membranous sacs. Mainly responsible for modifying, packaging, and sorting proteins that will be secreted or targeted to other organelles of the internal membrane system or to the plasma membrane; also called Golgi body or Golgi apparatus
Accepting Vesicles
Vesicles that receive transported materials within the cell, often involved in processes like endocytosis and exocytosis.
