Golgi apparatus, artwork
Golgi apparatus, artwork. This structure is an organelle found within eukaryotic cells. It receives proteins and lipids that are synthesised elsewhere on the endoplasmic reticulum. It then prepares the modified products for transport elsewhere. Molecules are both brought in and carried away in the form of vesicles (spheres). The Golgi apparatus consists of membranous folds called cisternae. This organelle, which forms part of the cellular endomembrane system, is named after the Italian physician Camillo Golgi, who discovered it in 1897

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate structure of the Golgi apparatus, an essential organelle found within eukaryotic cells. The print beautifully captures the complexity and beauty of this internal cellular component. The Golgi apparatus plays a crucial role in protein and lipid transport within cells. It receives molecules that are synthesized elsewhere on the endoplasmic reticulum and prepares them for transportation to other parts of the cell or outside of it. This dynamic process is depicted through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail in this art piece. The Golgi apparatus consists of membranous folds known as cisternae, which can be observed in this print with their distinct patterns and shapes. These folded structures create compartments where proteins and lipids are modified before being packaged into vesicles, represented by spherical forms surrounding the organelle. Named after Italian physician Camillo Golgi who discovered it in 1897, this organelle is an integral part of the cellular endomembrane system. Its significance lies not only in its function but also in its contribution to our understanding of cell biology and biochemistry. This mesmerizing artwork provides a unique perspective on a fundamental aspect of life at a microscopic level, offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its scientific importance and aesthetic appeal.
