Which organelle is responsible for packaging materials for secretion from the cell?
A
Endoplasmic reticulum
B
Golgi apparatus
C
Mitochondria
D
Lysosome
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of each organelle listed in the options: Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Mitochondria, and Lysosome.
Understand that the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids, and can be rough (with ribosomes) or smooth (without ribosomes).
Recognize that the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.
Know that lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.
Learn that the Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other parts of the cell.
