How do ribosomes and the Golgi apparatus interact to maintain homeostasis?

a
Ribosomes store liquids and other waste products that are created by the Golgi apparatus.
b
Ribosomes transport proteins and enzymes that are synthesized by the Golgi apparatus.
c
Ribosomes synthesize proteins that are sorted and packaged by the Golgi apparatus.
d
Ribosomes store molecules that are converted into usable energy by the Golgi apparatus.

The correct option is:

c. Ribosomes synthesize proteins that are sorted and packaged by the Golgi apparatus.

Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins based on the genetic information encoded in mRNA. Once these proteins are synthesized, they are often transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they undergo further modifications, sorting, and packaging for use inside or outside the cell. This interaction between ribosomes and the Golgi apparatus is crucial for maintaining cellular functions and homeostasis.
