The receiving side of the Golgi apparatus is known as the:
ACis face
BTrans face
CApical face
DBasal face
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Cis face
1. The Golgi is polarised, with one side taking material in and the other sending it out.
2. The receiving side of the Golgi apparatus is called the cis face.
3. Modified and tagged proteins are then packaged into secretory vesicles that bud from the trans face.
4. So cis is the entrance and trans is the exit.
