In plant cells, these dictyosomes are less tightly packed to form the Golgi apparatus. However, dictyosomes of animal cells are tightly packed to form the Golgi apparatus. Figure Dictyosome 1. Endoplasmic Reticulum Vesicles, 2. Exocytotic Vesicles, 3. Cisternae, 4. Cell Plasma Membrane, 5. Secretory Vesicles. Dictyosomes are membrane-bound.
They carry out the functions of storing, modifying, sorting and packaging of biomolecules into vesicles, especially proteins and lipids. The dictyosomes then transport the modified proteins or lipids to their relevant targets. Dictyosomes, also known as cisternae, are the building blocks of Golgi bodies.
Meanwhile, we call a collection of cisternae or dictyosomes as a Golgi body. Golgi body is a cellular organelle of eukaryotic cells. Therefore, this is the key difference between Golgi bodies and dictyosomes. Golgi bodies and dictyosomes go hand in hand as they perform the same function in eukaryotic cells.
A Golgi apparatus is composed of flat sacs known as cisternae. The sacs are stacked in a bent, semicircular shape. Each stacked grouping has a membrane that separates its insides from the cell's cytoplasm. Golgi membrane protein interactions are responsible for their unique shape. These interactions generate the force that shapes this organelle. The Golgi apparatus is very polar. Membranes at one end of the stack differ in both composition and in thickness from those at the other end. One end cis face acts as the "receiving" department while the other trans face acts as the "shipping" department.
The cis face is closely associated with the ER. Molecules synthesized in the ER exit via special transport vehicles that carry their contents to the Golgi apparatus. The vesicles fuse with Golgi cisternae releasing their contents into the internal portion of the membrane.
The molecules are modified as they are transported between cisternae layers. It is thought that individual sacs are not directly connected, thus the molecules move between cisternae through a sequence of budding, vesicle formation, and fusion with the next Golgi sac. Once the molecules reach the trans face of the Golgi, vesicles are formed to "ship" materials to other sites.
The Golgi apparatus modifies many products from the ER including proteins and phospholipids. The complex also manufactures certain biological polymers of its own. The Golgi apparatus contains processing enzymes, which alter molecules by adding or removing carbohydrate subunits. Once modifications have been made and molecules have been sorted, they are secreted from the Golgi via transport vesicles to their intended destinations. Substances within the vesicles are secreted by exocytosis.
Some of the molecules are destined for the cell membrane where they aid in membrane repair and intercellular signaling.
Other molecules are secreted to areas outside of the cell. Transport vesicles carrying these molecules fuse with the cell membrane releasing the molecules to the exterior of the cell. Still other vesicles contain enzymes that digest cellular components. These vesicle form cell structures called lysosomes. Molecules dispatched from the Golgi may also be reprocessed by the Golgi.
The Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex is capable of disassembly and reassembly. During the early stages of mitosis , the Golgi disassembles into fragments which further break down into vesicles. As the cell progresses through the division process, the Golgi vesicles are distributed between the two forming daughter cells by spindle microtubules. What is Golgi Apparatus 3. What is Endoplasmic Reticulum 4. Golgi apparatus, also called Golgi bodies or Golgi complex , is a prominent organelle in eukaryotic cells , especially in both plant and animal cells.
It is an arrangement of fluid-filled discs covered by a membrane similar to the cell membrane. Golgi apparatus is a part of the endomembrane system of cells, and it encases some important proteins and enzymes. Golgi complex carries out the packaging of proteins prior to sending them to the targets. Also, further processing of those proteins takes place inside Golgi bodies. Usually, Golgi bodies process the proteins produced at the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Then, the processed proteins are used for secretion. Each cell synthesizes many different molecules through different biochemical processes, especially during metabolism and anabolism.
Thus, these molecules should be properly sorted, modified, packaged, and delivered at the right place at the right time. Golgi apparatus is responsible for this purpose. Golgi apparatus carries out all these vital steps inside the cell.
In addition to proteins, Golgi bodies process lipids, proteins, enzymes, and many other types of molecules. Moreover, Golgi bodies produce enzyme-filled lysosomes.
