Question

1. match each organelle with its function.

• nucleus a. makes proteins
• ribosomes b. sorts and packages proteins
• mitochondria c. the cells control center, stores dna
• golgi apparatus d. breaks down waste and old organelles
• lysosomes e. generates energy (atp) through cellular respiration

Explanation:

• Nucleus: It is the cell's control center as it stores DNA which has the genetic instructions for the cell's activities.
• Ribosomes: They are the sites of protein synthesis in the cell.
• Mitochondria: Through cellular respiration, they generate ATP which is the energy currency of the cell.
• Golgi apparatus: It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
• Lysosomes: They contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, foreign particles, and old or damaged organelles.

Answer:

Nucleus - C. The cell's control center, stores DNA
Ribosomes - A. Makes proteins
Mitochondria - E. Generates energy (ATP) through cellular respiration
Golgi apparatus - B. Sorts and packages proteins
Lysosomes - D. Breaks down waste and old organelles
