The correct Answer is:
To determine the functions of lipocondria, also known as the Golgi apparatus, we will analyze each of the provided options: 1. **Chemical modification of lipids and proteins**: - The Golgi apparatus is known for its role in modifying proteins and lipids that are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It processes these molecules by adding carbohydrate groups (glycosylation) and other modifications, making this statement true. 2. **Detoxification**: - Detoxification is primarily a function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and liver cells, not the Golgi apparatus. Therefore, this statement is false. 3. **Formation of acrosome**: - The acrosome is a specialized structure that forms on the head of sperm cells and is crucial for fertilization. The Golgi apparatus is involved in the formation of the acrosome by packaging enzymes that help the sperm penetrate the ovum. Thus, this statement is true. 4. **Glycogen synthesis & breakdown**: - Glycogen synthesis and breakdown occur mainly in the liver and muscle cells, involving enzymes that are not functions of the Golgi apparatus. Therefore, this statement is false. Based on this analysis, the correct answers are: - (I) Chemical modification of lipids and proteins: **True** - (II) Detoxification: **False** - (III) Formation of acrosome: **True** - (IV) Glycogen synthesis & breakdown: **False** Thus, the functions of lipocondria are (I) and (III). ### Final Answer: The correct functions of lipocondria are: - (I) Chemical modification of lipids and proteins - (III) Formation of acrosome
