What is the organelle responsible for protein synthesis?

• Golgi apparatus
• Ribosome
• Lysosome
• Mitochondria

What is the organelle responsible for lipid production and modification?

• Mitochondria

• Golgi apparatus

• Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)

• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)

Answer explanation

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is the organelle primarily responsible for lipid production and modification, distinguishing it from the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which is involved in protein synthesis.

What is the organelle responsible for secretion of packaged molecules?

• Ribosome
• Endoplasmic reticulum
• Lysosome
• Golgi apparatus
