An organelle consisting of a series of flattened sacks stacked somewhat like pancakes is the

E) flagellum.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description matches the structure of the Golgi apparatus, which is responsible for modifying and sorting proteins before they are transported out of the cell. The other options do not have a similar flattened sack structure. The mitochondrion is a double-membraned organelle responsible for energy production, the chloroplast is found only in plant cells and is responsible for photosynthesis, the rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes and involved in protein synthesis, and the flagellum is a whip-like structure used for cell movement.
