Question

multiple choice question
mitochondria, the golgi complex and the ribosomes are all examples of ______.

organisms
organelles
organs
cytoplasm

Explanation:

• Organisms are entire living entities (e.g., plants, animals), so mitochondria etc. aren't organisms.
• Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions. Mitochondria (energy production), Golgi complex (processing proteins), and ribosomes (protein synthesis) are all cell organelles.
• Organs are made of multiple tissues and perform a function in an organism (e.g., heart, liver), so these structures aren't organs.
• Cytoplasm is the jelly - like substance in the cell where organelles are suspended, not the structures themselves.

Answer:

B. organelles
