Which of the following cell organelles involved in the synthesis of cell wall and middle lamella?
- A
Endoplasmic reticulum
- B
Golgi apparatus
- C
Lysosomes
- D
Peroxisomes
The Golgi and plasma membranes are the two main sites where constituents of cell wall are synthesized. The Golgi body is also known as Golgi apparatus. It synthesizes vesicles which then fuse to form the middle lamella as shown below.
SER is involved in lipid and carbohydrate synthesis while RERis involved in protein synthesis.
It is involved in cell wall formation through phragmoplast which is formed by golgi vesicles.
It has digestive and hydrolytic enzymes.
It is involved in decomposition and formation of hydrogen peroxide.
