Golgi Apparatus Functions in Eukaryotic Cells

Steps:

• Identify lysosome production: Golgi modifies and packages enzymes into lysosomes.
• Identify polypeptide modification: Golgi adds sugars and other groups to polypeptides from ER.
• Identify exocytosis: This is vesicle fusion with plasma membrane, not a direct Golgi function.
• Match to options: Golgi handles 1 and 2, but not 3.

Why B is correct:

• Golgi apparatus processes and sorts proteins, including polypeptide modification in its cisternae and lysosome formation by budding off vesicles with hydrolytic enzymes.

Why the others are wrong:

• A includes exocytosis, which occurs at the cell membrane after Golgi packaging.
• C excludes polypeptide modification, a core Golgi role in glycosylation.
• D excludes lysosome production, which relies on Golgi packaging of lysosomal enzymes.

Final answer: B
