The Organelles That are Flattened Sacs That Chemically Process Molecules

Question

The organelles that are flattened sacs that chemically process molecules are the
A) endoplasmic reticulum
B) flagella
C) Golgi apparatus
D) lysosome

Accepted Answer

The Golgi apparatus is made up of flattened sacs called cisternae and is responsible for chemically processing and modifying molecules before they are transported to their final destination in the cell or outside the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum is also involved in chemically processing molecules, but it is not made up of flattened sacs. Flagella are not involved in processing molecules, and lysosomes are sac-like organelles that contain enzymes for breaking down and digesting cellular waste.
