Important site for formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids is :

  1. Plastid
  2. Lysosome
  3. Golgi apparatus
  4. Vacuole

Answer

(3) Golgi apparatus

Solution

As per NCERT, the Golgi apparatus principally performs the function of packaging materials.

⇒ A number of proteins synthesised by ribosomes on the ER are modified in the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus.

∴ The Golgi apparatus is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids.

Answer: (3)
