List the three major functions of the Golgi apparatus

A) The Golgi apparatus (1 ) synthesizes lipids, (2 ) synthesizes carbohydrates, and (3 ) synthesizes proteins. B) The Golgi apparatus (1 ) provides physical isolation for the cell, (2 ) provides structural support, and (3 ) regulates the exchange of materials with the environment. C) The Golgi apparatus (1 ) organizes microtubules in the spindle to move chromosomes during cell division, (2 ) moves material through the cytoplasm, and (3 ) detects environmental stimuli. D) The Golgi apparatus (1 ) renews or modifies the plasma membrane, (2 ) modifies and packages cellular secretions, and (3 ) packages special enzymes within vesicles (lysosomes) for use within the cell. E) The Golgi apparatus (1 ) removes damaged organelles, (2 ) fuses with vesicles containing fluids or solids from the external environment to obtain nutrients, and (3 ) breaks down and releases digestive enzymes to cause destruction to the cell (autolysis).
