Question

click on the drop-down menu that is within animal cell. you will see several organelle names. you can choose organelles from the drop-down menu or click on them directly inside the cell. read about the organelles. then, match each organelle listed below with the correct function.
organelles: nucleus, mitochondrion, ribosome, golgi apparatus
functions:

• structure that contains dna and regulates genes
• structure that converts nutrients to energy
• small structure that synthesizes proteins
• stack of membranes that packages chemicals

Explanation:

To solve this, we match each organelle to its function:

1. Nucleus: The nucleus is the structure that contains DNA (genes) and regulates cell activities. So nucleus matches "structure that contains DNA and regulates genes".
2. Mitochondrion: Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, converting nutrients to energy. So mitochondrion matches "structure that converts nutrients to energy".
3. Ribosome: Ribosomes are small structures responsible for protein synthesis. So ribosome matches "small structure that synthesizes proteins".
4. Golgi apparatus: The Golgi apparatus consists of a stack of membranes that package chemicals (like proteins) for transport. So Golgi apparatus matches "stack of membranes that packages chemicals".

Answer:

• nucleus: structure that contains DNA and regulates genes
• mitochondrion: structure that converts nutrients to energy
• ribosome: small structure that synthesizes proteins
• Golgi apparatus: stack of membranes that packages chemicals
