Question

Which of the following is not involved in transport of materials within a eukaryotic cell?
A) the rough endoplasmic reticulum
B) mitochondrion
C) the Golgi complex
D) lysosome

Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are primarily involved in energy production (ATP synthesis) through cellular respiration, not in the transport of materials within the cell. The rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, and lysosomes are all involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of proteins and other materials.
