Question

Responses

Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis
Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis

Ribosome - breaks down damaged or useless organelles
Ribosome - breaks down damaged or useless organelles

Golgi apparatus - creates lipids
Golgi apparatus - creates lipids

Mitochondrion - site of photosynthesis

Answer 1

The correct match is:

**Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis.**

The other options are incorrect because:

- **Ribosome** is not responsible for breaking down damaged or useless organelles; that function is performed by the **lysosome**.
- The **Golgi apparatus** does not create lipids; it modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
- The **mitochondrion** is the site of cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
