Would the absence of the Golgi apparatus influence the communication of the presynaptic membrane with the post-synaptic membrane?
Option 1: No, this would not communication between the two membranes since the Golgi does not produce neurotransmitters.
Option 2: Yes, this would affect communication between the two membranes since the secretory vesicles are created by the Golgi so that the neurotransmitter can be
released by exocytosis.
Option 3: Yes, this would affect communication between the two membranes since the Golgi is responsible for altering the neurotransmitter making it hydrophobic and therefore making it possible for neurotransmitter to pass through the phospholipid bilayer.
