Answers

The correct answer is **b**: Ribosomes synthesize proteins that are sorted and packaged by the Golgi apparatus.

Ribosomes are responsible for translating mRNA into proteins, which are essential for various cellular functions. Once these proteins are synthesized, they often need to be modified and sorted for their specific functions. The Golgi apparatus processes, packages, and prepares these proteins for transport to their final destinations within or outside the cell, contributing to the maintenance of homeostasis by ensuring that the right proteins are delivered to the right locations.
