both modify and sort proteins into those destined for secretion and those that function in membrane structures.

Explanation:

The Golgi apparatus is a single membrane-bound organelle that has a 5-8 flattened sac. Golgi is divided into two faces cis face which is known as entry face and trans face which is known as a maturing face.

The function of the Golgi apparatus is the sorting and modification of proteins and lipids. The modified proteins are packed into vesicles and released in the cytoplasm.

Form cytoplasm they move to their destination for example they can be corporated into the plasma membrane or can be secreted out of the cell.
