Question

the table lists some organelles and functions. only one pair is correctly matched.

organelle	function
endoplasmic reticulum	breaks down sugar molecules to supply energy
golgi apparatus	supports and protects organelles in the cell
lysosome	produces proteins for the cell

which organelle in the table is correctly matched with its function?

• nucleus
• endoplasmic reticulum
• golgi apparatus
• lysosome

Explanation:

The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and directs cell activities such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, not energy - production from sugar. The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell, not for supporting and protecting organelles. Lysosomes contain enzymes for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris, not for protein production.

Answer:

nucleus
