Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Concentrically arranged cisternae of Golgi complex are arranged near the nucleus with distinct convex cis or maturing and concave trans or forming face.
Statement II: A number of proteins are modified in the cisternae of Golgi complex before they are released from cis face.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the option given below.

• A. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
• B. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
• C. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• D. Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Statement I is incorrect. The Golgi cisternae are not concentrically arranged; they are arranged in a cis-to-trans direction, with the cis face receiving proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and the trans face releasing modified proteins.
Statement II is also incorrect. Protein modification occurs in the cisternae of the Golgi complex as they move from the cis to the trans face, not just at the cis face.
