The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the functions of the Golgi apparatus, we will analyze each option provided and determine which one is not a specialized function of the Golgi apparatus. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Golgi Apparatus**: The Golgi apparatus is an organelle that plays a crucial role in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles. 2. **Analyzing Option (a)**: - **Glycosidation and glycosylation of lipids and proteins**: The Golgi apparatus is indeed involved in the glycosylation process, where carbohydrates are added to proteins and lipids. This is a specialized function of the Golgi apparatus. - **Conclusion**: This option is a function of the Golgi apparatus. 3. **Analyzing Option (b)**: - **Recycling of the plasma membrane pinched off by pinocytosis and phagocytosis**: The Golgi apparatus also plays a role in recycling components of the plasma membrane. It helps in processing and recycling the membrane materials that are involved in endocytosis processes like pinocytosis and phagocytosis. - **Conclusion**: This option is a function of the Golgi apparatus. 4. **Analyzing Option (c)**: - **Secretion**: The Golgi apparatus is well-known for its role in secretion. It packages proteins and lipids into vesicles that are then transported to the cell membrane for secretion. - **Conclusion**: This option is a function of the Golgi apparatus. 5. **Analyzing Option (d)**: - **Intracellular digestion**: This function is primarily associated with lysosomes, not the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus does not perform intracellular digestion; instead, it is involved in the modification and transport of proteins and lipids. - **Conclusion**: This option is NOT a function of the Golgi apparatus. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **(d) Intracellular digestion**, as this is not a specialized function of the Golgi apparatus.
