Golgi Apparatus

The Golgi finishes, sorts, and ships a cells products.  Cells that are specialized for secretion contain numerous golgi apparatuses. Golgi is made of  cisternae, these are flat sacs that look similar to a stack of pita bread.  The golgi has 2 sides, one that recieves materials called the cis side, and one that buds off vesicles that go to other sites called trans.  The Golgi can produce its very own macromolecules; such as pectin and noncellulose polysaccharides.
