Golgi Apparatus

Where it's found: close to the cell nucleus
What it looks like: a stack of deflated balloons, made of stacks of membrane-covered stacks called cisternae 
What it does: processes proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum, form carbohydrates, sulfate groups are added to proteins, nucleotide sugars are imported in from the cytoplasm to carry out thglycosylation and phosphorylation processes
