vesicles from the golgi body that will become lysosomes contain enzymes for
aerobic respiration
photosynthesis
breaking down cellular debris
protein synthesis
digesting amino acids and fatty acids
question 18 (2.5 points)
because the smooth er does not contain it cannot produce proteins.
golgi bodies
mitochondria
Brief Explanations
- Question 17: Lysosomes are known as the "digestive" organelles of the cell. They contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down cellular debris (such as worn - out organelles, ingested pathogens, etc.). Aerobic respiration occurs in mitochondria, photosynthesis in chloroplasts, protein synthesis mainly in ribosomes (and rough ER), and while lysosomes can break down various macromolecules including those from amino acids and fatty acids as part of debris breakdown, their primary and most specific function related to the options is breaking down cellular debris.
- Question 18: The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has ribosomes attached to its surface, which are responsible for protein synthesis. The smooth ER lacks ribosomes, so it cannot produce proteins. Golgi bodies are involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins (and lipids), and mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell (involved in ATP production).
