Question

the table lists some organelles and functions. only one pair is correctly matched. which organelle in the table is correctly matched with its function? organelle: nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosome; function: directs cell activity, breaks down sugar molecules to supply energy, supports and protects organelles in the cell, produces proteins for the cell

Explanation:

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

Answer:

Nucleus - Directs cell activity
