Which of these organelles modifies cell products and then packages them for distribution?
A
Mitochondrion
B
Ribosome
C
Lysosome
D
Golgi apparatus
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the function of each organelle listed in the options: Mitochondrion, Ribosome, Lysosome, and Golgi apparatus.
Recall that the mitochondrion is primarily involved in energy production through cellular respiration.
Remember that ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, translating mRNA into polypeptide chains.
Note that lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.
Identify that the Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles, making it the correct answer.
