Question

which of the following correctly matches an organelle with its function? * 5 points (sc.912.l.14.2) d. nucleus: protein production c. mitochondrion: atp (chemical energy) production b. lysosome: movement a. ribosome: lipid production

Explanation:

• Nucleus: Stores genetic information (DNA), not for protein production. Protein production occurs in ribosomes.
• Mitochondrion: The powerhouse of the cell. It generates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through cellular respiration.
• Lysosome: Contains digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris, not for movement.
• Ribosome: Involved in protein synthesis, not lipid production. Lipid production mainly occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Answer:

C. Mitochondrion: ATP (chemical energy) production
