Question

the ______ builds compounds, whereas the ______ breaks things down. endoplasmic reticulum; lysosome golgi apparatus; central vacuole golgi apparatus; lysosome endoplasmic reticulum; golgi apparatus

Explanation:

The endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins and lipids, building compounds. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris. The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids, not primarily for breaking things down. The central vacuole mainly functions in storage and maintaining turgor pressure.

Answer:

A. endoplasmic reticulum; lysosome
