Renewal or Modification of the Plasma Membrane is the Major

Question

Renewal or modification of the plasma membrane is the major function of which organelle?
A) lysosomes
B) Golgi apparatus
C) peroxisomes
D) mitochondria
E) cytoskeleton

Accepted Answer

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for the modification, sorting, and packaging of proteins and lipids that are then transported to their destination, including the plasma membrane. This makes it the best choice for the renewal or modification of the plasma membrane. Lysosomes and peroxisomes are involved in the breakdown of cellular waste and are not directly involved in membrane renewal. Mitochondria are primarily involved in energy production. The cytoskeleton provides structural support and is not directly involved in membrane renewal.
