Cells - Golgi Apparatus

The video explains the role of the Golgi apparatus in both plant and animal cells, focusing on its function in modifying and transporting proteins. It highlights the process where transport vesicles from the rough ER fuse with the Golgi apparatus, where proteins are modified and tagged before being shipped out. A specific example is provided with the human pancreas, where the Golgi apparatus processes and exports insulin, a hormone crucial for regulating metabolism in the liver.

Describe the process by which proteins are modified and exported from the Golgi apparatus.

What is a good example of export activity in the human body?

What is the role of the Golgi apparatus in cells?

How does insulin reach the bloodstream after being processed in the Golgi apparatus?

Explain the significance of insulin in regulating metabolism.
