Q.112) Assertion (A): The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to package the materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum and deliver it to intracellular targets and outside the cell.

Reason (R): Vesicles containing materials made by the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the cis face of the Golgi apparatus, and they are modified and released from the trans face of the Golgi apparatus.

A) A is false but R is true

B) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

C)  Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

D) A is true but R is false

Q.112) Assertion (A) is true because the Golgi apparatus plays a central role in modifying, packaging, and transporting materials (like proteins and lipids) synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to their correct destinations—either inside the cell or outside via exocytosis.

Reason (R) is also true because materials from the ER are delivered to the cis face (forming face) of the Golgi, undergo chemical modifications, and exit from the trans face (maturing face) packed into vesicles for their target location.

The Reason (R) clearly explains Assertion (A).

Hence, the correct answer is option (2): Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
