What would happen to the life of a cell if there was no Golgi apparatus?


In the absence of Golgi apparatus, the modification and packaging process of proteins and lipids will not occur properly. Also, there will be no production of lysosomes and leads to the accumulation of dead and damaged organelles. This can lead to dysfunction of the cell and can result in cell death.

[Extra information:

Golgi complex: 

Golgi bodies receive proteins and fats from the RER (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum). It modifies them if required and packages them into sealed droplets known as vesicles. These vesicles (containing modified proteins and fats) are released or dispatched to their required destination.]
