Chemicals concentrated and stored in the Golgi apparatus are later released from the cell by secretory vesicles produced by the outer portion of the Golgi apparatus when it moves to where?
Correct Answer
cell surface
Explanation
Secretory vesicles produced by the outer portion of the Golgi apparatus travel to the cell surface (plasma membrane), where they fuse with the membrane and release their contents outside the cell via exocytosis. This is how cells secrete hormones, digestive enzymes, mucus, and other substances.
