Answer 1

The correct answer to fill in the blank in the passage is:

protein making and protein packaging

"These functions are protein making and protein packaging, respectively."

This reflects the roles of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (where proteins are synthesized) and the Golgi apparatus (which is involved in packaging and modifying proteins for transport).
