The statement that correctly matches a cell part with its function is:

The lysosome digests molecules.

Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials, cellular debris, and macromolecules.

The other statements are incorrect:

  • The cell membrane does not package lipids for export; that function is performed by the Golgi apparatus.
  • The mitochondria do not perform photosynthesis; that process occurs in chloroplasts in plant cells.
  • The nucleus does not produce energy; it stores genetic information and coordinates cell activities, including growth and reproduction.
