what is the function of the Golgi complex?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_complex\n\nThe primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to process and package macromolecules synethesised by the cell, primarily proteins and lipids. The Golgi apparatus forms a part of the endomembrane system present in eukaryotic cells.

proteins are made in the ribosomes where mRNA is translated with tRNA to form a polypeptide. DNA is made in the nucleus. Nutrients taken in from outside teh body are stored in the golgi apparatus. \n\nCarbohydrates from the golgi apparatus is converted into ATP for energy in the walls of the mitochondria and parts of the cell membrane. \n\nThe rest is stored in the Endoplasmic reticulum\n\nLipids are taken from outside the body and also stored in the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus where salt emulsifies it.

Goblet cells are specialised columnar epithelial cells. There function is to produce mucus - especially in the respiratory and digestive tracts.

vacuoles r mainly used to store stuff. during phagocytosis for eg, they compartmentalise ingested material. If the cell wants to eat whatever they took in, the vacuoles will typically fuse with lysosomes, and the lysosome will break down whatever's inside the vacuole by using nasty acids at pH 1-2(sometimes, lysosomes r called suicide bags, because on occassion, lysosomes pop and spill its acid into the cell and kills it... but normally, it's thick membrane stops that from happenin... lol)\n\nYa, vacuoles can also be used to transport material around the cell. The Golgi apparatus, for eg, uses it to transport membrane proteins to the plasma membrane.\n\nHope this helps!

Cells are the basic building blocks of life. Their main goal is to maintain homeostasis, the way this is done is by using organic and inorganic molecules. Organic molecules are compounds containing carbons, whereas inorganic molecules are compounds that don't have carbon.  \n\nOne of the cells' main function is to make energy. The way it makes energy is via the Kreb Cycle, where it uses  organic molecules such as glucose, and breaks it down into energy ATP  another organic molecule. \n\nAnother function is Reproduction/Replication...cells use RNA (organic molecule) to make DNA (organic molecule).\n\nIf you look at cells on a larger scale, such as tissues...  note that there are four types of tissues: nervous tissues, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and  epidermal tissue.... if you look at the nervous tissue in order for a signal to be transmitted from the brain to the muscle,  neurons have to be able to send the message from the brain to the muscle using action potentials, which use inorganic molecules such as sodium and potassium, in the ion channels in a voltage sensitive gate.  Due to diffusion and osmosis, the ion gates open and close based on concentration levels of sodium and potassium and also based on the action potential. \n\nNote: that you question is very broad and requires not only the knowledge of basic biology but systemic physiology as well. If you want more answers or something you may email me.

No. \nFirst of all, the endoplasmic reticulum is contained by the cells( except neuronal ones). It's job inside the cell is in the protein metabolic reactions.\nThe microsom is a genetica structure, much smaller than any other components of the cell. It helps transporting genetical information from the reticulum to other structures with the help of genes.

mitochondria, golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum (smooth or rough)

Organelles don't have much of an effect on cell function--mostly it's its shape. More active cells are smaller than less active cells so information can quickly pass through the cytoplasm and into the nucleus. This explains why muscle cells are long, small and slender, and fat cells are large and bulky. \n\nThe membrane of smaller cells has many exterior folds to increase its surface area and ablitily to collect nutrients necessary for cell function.

Centrosomes. They function the same way as centrioles.

um... what is plastic??\nendoplasmic reticulum acts as a transport channel for proteins, where they are packaged and readied to be exported.\nlysosomes digest old trash in the cell. They are part of the lymphatic system (the kidneys)

The main functions of the nucleus are providing a compartment separated from the rest of the cell and controlling transcription.

None-- But the endoplasmic reticulum does come in contact at various times during the life cycle

All mRNA signals are translated by ribosomes, usually on rough endoplasmic reticulum. Cytoplasmic proteins will then be released to the cytoplasm, secreated proteins will be packaged up into vesicles by the golgi apparatus, and membrane proteins will be moved to the membrane.\nHope this helps :)

Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes to digest macromolecules. They are found in both animal and plant cells but they are rare in plant cells. They are built in the Golgi apparatus.

The Golgi apparatus looks like a stack of flat pancakes, they are actualy flattened membranes. They sort proteins, and other cellular substances and package them into membrane bound structures called vesicles. The Golgi apparatus is like the warehouse that stores, sorts, and packages materails for shippment to other locations.

All biological membranes, including the plasma membrane and the internal membranes of eucaryotic cells, have a common overall structure, they are assemblies of lipid and protein molecules held together by noncovalen interactions. The Lipid molecules are arranged as a continuous double layer 4 to 5 nm thick. This lipid bilayer provides the basic structure of the membrane and serves as a relatively impermeable barrier to the flow of most water- soluble molecules.The proteins molecules are dissolved in the lipid by layer.

Lysosomes are responsible for getting rid of damaged organelles in the cell by digesting them. They even digest whole cells if they are damaged. SO if you've got cell damaage, lysosomes get rid of that damage.
