Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Golgi complex is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport to their final destination within the cell or for secretion outside of the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for protein synthesis and folding, but not specifically for modification, sorting, and packaging. Peroxisomes are involved in cellular metabolism and detoxification. The nucleus contains genetic material and controls gene expression. The proteasome is an organelle responsible for protein degradation.
