Question

Which correctly matches the organelle to its description?
Responses

Golgi apparatus - creates lipids
Golgi apparatus - creates lipids

Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis
Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis

Mitochondrion - site of photosynthesis
Mitochondrion - site of photosynthesis

Ribosome - breaks down damaged or useless organelles

Answer 1

The correct match is:

**Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis**

Here’s a brief overview of the other options:

- **Golgi apparatus** - This organelle is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles, not creating lipids.

- **Mitochondrion** - This organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell, where ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell, is produced through cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.

- **Ribosome** - Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, not breaking down damaged or useless organelles; that function is typically associated with lysosomes.

Thus, the only correct pairing is Chloroplast - site of photosynthesis.
