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. Golgi cisternae are organized in a cis-to-trans direction, not concentrically. The cis face receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum, and the trans face releases them after modification.
Statement II is incorrect. Protein modification within the Golgi complex occurs progressively as proteins transit from the cis to the trans face, not solely at the cis face.
