A. Cellular respiration
B. Intracellular digestion
C. Packaging and secretion of materials
D. Photosynthesis
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The Golgi apparatus consists of flat, disc-shaped cisternae and is primarily involved in the packaging, modification, and secretion of materials (proteins and lipids) synthesized in the ER. It has a cis face (forming face) near the ER and a trans face (maturing face) directed towards the plasma membrane.

Question #3
Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The heart pumps blood throughout the body. 2. The lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. 3. The kidneys produce urine. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The heart is a muscular pump that circulates blood through the cardiovascular system, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste. The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system, where gas exchange occurs: oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. The kidneys are the primary excretory organs, filtering blood to remove metabolic waste, excess water, and ions, producing urine. All statements are correct.
