Answer 1

The correct answer choice that fills in the blank in the passage is:

protein making, protein packaging, and lipid production

This is because the rough endoplasmic reticulum is primarily involved in protein synthesis (making), the Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying and packaging proteins (packaging), and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in lipid synthesis (production).
