Question

choose the organelle that is correctly matched with its function. select an answer a. rough endoplasmic reticulum - site of lipid synthesis b. smooth endoplasmic reticulum - site of protein synthesis c. golgi apparatus - site where biomolecules are broken down by enzymatic action d. mitochondria - site of atp synthesis

Explanation:

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is the site of protein synthesis, not lipid synthesis. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the site of lipid synthesis, not protein synthesis. The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids, not breaks down biomolecules by enzymatic action. Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell and are the site of ATP synthesis through cellular respiration.

Answer:

D. mitochondria: site of ATP synthesis
