Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the function of each organelle listed: Mitochondria are primarily involved in energy production through cellular respiration.
Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport but is not the main site of synthesis.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membranes within the cell where chemicals, especially proteins and lipids, are synthesized and transported.
Therefore, the passageways within a cell where chemicals are synthesized and transported are best described by the endoplasmic reticulum.
