Question

question 2 1 pts which of the following correctly matches an organelle and its function? o endoplasmic reticulum - houses dna o vacuole - control center o golgi apparatus - protein synthesis o lysosome - transport o mitochondrion - cellular respiration

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Endoplasmic reticulum: Involved in protein and lipid synthesis, not housing DNA (DNA is in the nucleus). So "endoplasmic reticulum - houses DNA" is incorrect.
• Vacuole: Stores substances, the control center is the nucleus. So "vacuole - control center" is incorrect.
• Golgi apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins, protein synthesis is done by ribosomes. So "Golgi apparatus - protein synthesis" is incorrect.
• Lysosome: Contains digestive enzymes for breakdown, not transport. So "lysosome - transport" is incorrect.
• Mitochondrion: Is the site of cellular respiration, where energy (ATP) is produced. So "mitochondrion - cellular respiration" is correct.

Answer:

mitochondrion - cellular respiration
