Golgi apparatus are also called Golgi bodies or Golgi complex. They are complex vesicles and folded membrane within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Golgi apparatus are important in the secretion and intracellular transport roles. A major function is the modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion. They are also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes.
Therefore, Golgi apparatus are the organelles responsible for the formation of lysosomes, which are organelles that destroy old and worn out cellular organelles.
