Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Centrioles are rod-shaped structures made of fine tubes and are important in cell division, specifically in organizing the spindle fibers that separate the chromosomes during mitosis. Ribosomes are not rod-shaped structures, but rather small spherical structures responsible for protein synthesis. The mitochondria are oval-shaped organelles responsible for producing ATP in the cell. The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging and distributing proteins and lipids within the cell.
