Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are responsible for breaking down organic compounds in the ATP-forming reaction of aerobic respiration.

Answer: A 
 Peroxisomes are responsible for breaking down fatty acids and other organic compounds.

Answer: G 
 Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down macromolecules.

Answer: J 
 Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, not breaking down organic compounds.

Answer: B, F 
 Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis and central vacuoles are responsible for storing water and other substances, they are not involved in breaking down organic compounds.

Answer: C, D, E, I 
 Golgi bodies are responsible for processing and packaging proteins, DNA and RNA molecules are genetic material, and nucleoli are responsible for producing ribosomes. None of these structures are directly involved in breaking down organic compounds.
