Which cell structure is correctly matched with its function?

• A. Lysosome - Photosynthesis
• B. Golgi apparatus - Protein modification and sorting
• C. Mitochondria - Protein synthesis
• D. Ribosome - Lipid synthesis

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Begin by identifying the primary functions of each cell structure mentioned in the problem.
2. Understand that lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste removal, not photosynthesis.
3. Recognize that the Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion or use within the cell.
4. Note that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, primarily involved in energy production through ATP synthesis, not protein synthesis.
5. Remember that ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, not lipid synthesis. Lipid synthesis occurs in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
