Identify the correct pair from the following options:
Correct answer: D. Modification-Golgi apparatus
- A. DNA replication-Ribosome
- B. Protein synthesis-Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
- C. Anaerobic respiration-Cristae
- D. Modification-Golgi apparatus
Explanation
The correct answer is Modification-Golgi apparatus because the Golgi apparatus is essential for processing and modifying proteins and lipids after they are synthesized. In contrast, the other options are incorrect for the following reasons:DNA replication-Ribosome: DNA replication takes place in the nucleus, while ribosomes are sites of protein synthesis.Protein synthesis-Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: Although SER has important functions, protein synthesis primarily occurs at the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, which has ribosomes attached to it.Anaerobic respiration-Cristae: Cristae are inner membrane folds in mitochondria that facilitate aerobic respiration; anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm and does not involve cristae.Thus, the only correct pairing is between modification and the Golgi apparatus.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
