Golgi Apparatus
After the Endoplasmic Reticulum, the proteins are transported to the Golgi Apparatus. This organelle packages and sorts the proteins into vesicles. These vesicles then are released into the cytoplasm and pass through the membrane. The vesicle then frees the protein within into the outside. So kind of like how one has to package up presents when they are to be given because otherwise one could risk the present getting ruined, the Golgi wraps the proteins so that while in the outside of the cell, they come to no harm.
