Question

the table lists some organelles and functions. only one pair is correctly matched.
which organelle in the table is correctly matched with its function?
○ nucleus
○ endoplasmic reticulum
○ golgi apparatus
○ lysosome

Explanation:

• Nucleus: It contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and directs cell activities such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
• Endoplasmic reticulum: Its main functions are protein and lipid synthesis, not breaking down sugar molecules (that's mitochondria's role in cellular respiration).
• Golgi apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles, not supporting and protecting organelles (that's the cytoplasm's role in part).
• Lysosome: Contains digestive enzymes to break down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign invaders, not producing proteins (that's ribosomes' role).

Answer:

nucleus
