golgi apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is usually made up of five to eight cup-shaped, membrane-covered stacks of discs called cisternae singular, cisterna , as shown in Figure below . Both plant and animal cells have a Golgi apparatus. A typical mammalian cell will have 40 to 80 of these stacks. While plant cells can have up to several hundred Golgi stacks scattered throughout the cytoplasm. In plants, the Golgi apparatus contains enzymes that synthesize some of the cell wall polysaccharides.
