An Important Function of the _______ is to Produce Lysosomes

Question

An important function of the _______ is to produce lysosomes.
A) endoplasmic reticulum
B) nucleolus
C) Golgi complex
D) mitochondria

Accepted Answer

The Golgi complex is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport to various parts of the cell, including the lysosomes. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, and the nucleolus is involved in the synthesis of ribosomes. While mitochondria do play a role in cellular metabolism and energy production, they do not produce lysosomes.
