The Golgi apparatus is the important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Proteins synthesized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum and lipids synthesized by the smooth endoplasmic reticulum reach the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus. Here, they combine with carbohydrates to form glycoproteins and glycolipids.
