C
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
D
Lysosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary functions of each cell organelle listed in the options.
Understand that the Golgi Apparatus is mainly involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
Recognize that the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is studded with ribosomes and is primarily involved in protein synthesis.
Learn that Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and are responsible for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris.
Identify the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum as the organelle responsible for detoxification processes and lipid synthesis, due to its role in metabolizing carbohydrates, synthesizing lipids, and detoxifying drugs and poisons.
