Question

Which one of the following organelles is correctly matched with its function?

• A. Lysosomes, produce energy currency of the cell
• B. Golgi apparatus, protein snthesis
• C. Mitochondria, ​​​​​​digest excess or worn out organelles
• D. Rough endoplasmic reticulum, protein synthesis

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Rough endoplasmic reticulum, protein synthesis

Rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the protein synthesis process. Golgi apparatus is involved in the formation of glycolipids and glycoproteins. Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. The most prominent role of mitochondria is to produce the energy currency of the cell, ATP, by respiration, and to regulate cellular metabolism.
