Biology Quiz: Match Golgi Bodies to an Everyday System
Biology
Grade 7 (Junior High School)
Question Content
5. Paragraph 3 compares the Golgi bodies to which system? A. A security gate B. Amazon packaging center C. A power plant D. A backpack
Correct Answer
B
Detailed Solution Steps
1
Step 1: Recall the function of Golgi bodies: They modify, sort, package, and ship proteins and lipids produced by the cell to their final destinations (either inside or outside the cell).
2
Step 2: Match this function to an everyday system: An Amazon packaging center receives, sorts, packages, and ships items, which directly mirrors the Golgi body's role.
3
Step 3: Eliminate other options: A is for cell membranes, C is for mitochondria, D does not match the packaging/shipping function, so select B.

Golgi Apparatus Function
The Golgi apparatus (or Golgi body) is a membrane-bound organelle. It acts as the cell's 'shipping and packaging center': it receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies them, sorts them into vesicles, and transports them to their target locations within or outside the cell.
