Multiple Choice
Which of the following statements about eukaryotic cell organelles is not true?
A
The Golgi apparatus is involved in protein modification and sorting.
B
Ribosomes are membrane-bound organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
C
Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
D
Mitochondria are responsible for energy production in the form of ATP.
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the function of each organelle mentioned in the statements: Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, lysosomes, and mitochondria.
Understand that the Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
Recognize that ribosomes are not membrane-bound organelles; they are complexes of RNA and protein that synthesize proteins, either free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Know that lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing enzymes that digest macromolecules, old cell parts, and microorganisms.
Acknowledge that mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles known as the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.
