C
Mitochondrion
D
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the main functions of each organelle listed in the problem: Nucleolus, Mitochondrion, Rough endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.
Recall that the nucleolus is primarily involved in ribosomal RNA synthesis and ribosome assembly, not protein modification or packaging.
Understand that the mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for ATP production through cellular respiration, not protein processing.
Recognize that the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is involved in the synthesis of proteins, especially those destined for secretion or membrane insertion, but it does not perform the final modification and packaging.
Know that the Golgi apparatus receives proteins from the RER, modifies them (such as adding carbohydrate groups), packages them into vesicles, and directs them to their final destinations within or outside the cell.
