Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.

Answer: A
 Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a membrane-bound organelle involved in protein and lipid synthesis and transport.

Answer: B
 Golgi complex is also a membrane-bound organelle, which modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport.

Answer: C
 Lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle that contains digestive enzymes to break down waste and foreign particles.

Answer: D
 Peroxisome is a membrane-bound organelle involved in breaking down fatty acids and detoxifying harmful substances.

Answer: G
 Free ribosome is a non-membrane-bound organelle that synthesizes proteins for use within the cell.

Answer: H
 Microtubule and I. Microfilament are both types of cytoskeletal elements, providing shape and structure to the cell and facilitating cellular movement.

Answer: F
 Vault is a non-membrane-bound cellular structure that may be involved in transport and storage of macromolecules.
