Question

muscle cells are specialized for contraction. they need lots of energy and specialized proteins. which of these statements correctly pairs an organelle with its function in the cell? choose all that apply.
a ribosomes make lipids.
b the mitochondria makes atp.
c the lysosomes make proteins.
d the golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins.
e the endoplasmic reticulum transports molecules throughout the cell

Explanation:

Muscle cells need abundant energy (from mitochondria) and specialized proteins for contraction. Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins, which aligns with the muscle cell's requirement for specialized proteins. The other options are incorrect: ribosomes do not make lipids (option A), only mitochondria make ATP but ribosomes are not mitochondria (option B), the Golgi apparatus processes/packages proteins (not ribosomes, option D), and the endoplasmic reticulum handles transport (not ribosomes, option E). Thus, option C correctly pairs ribosomes with their function.

Answer:

C. Ribosomes make proteins.
