Cisternae

Varied number of ______ are present in a Golgi complex.

Golgi complex

Vesicles

Materials to be packaged in the form of _______ from the ER fuse with the cis face of the golgi apparatus and move towards the maturing face.

Golgi apparatus

____ is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
