Golgi apparatus

The Golgi apparatus, which is usually situated near the nucleus, receives proteins and lipids from the ER, modifies them, and then dispatches them to other destinations in the cell. Transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus—and the Golgi can either move onward through the Golgi stack or, if they contain an ER retention signal, be returned to the ER; proteins exiting from the Golgi are sorted according to whether they are destined for lysosomes (via endosomes) or for the cell surface.

Answer:


\boxed {\tt Golgi \ apparatus}

Step-by-step explanation:

After a protein is produced on a ribosome it is sent to the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, proteins fold and then are sent to the golgi apparatus.

In this organelle, proteins are modified and labeled. Sugar groups (modifications ) and tags/signals (labels) can be added. From the golgi apparatus they are sent to different destinations or secreted.

So, the correct answer is Golgi apparatus.
