Which of the following organelles is concerned with the cell secretion?
Correct answer: B. Golgi apparatus
- A. Ribosomes
- B. Golgi apparatus
- C. Lysosomes
- D. Mitochondria
Explanation
The Golgi apparatus is the organelle primarily responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion. It receives products from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies them, and then packages them into vesicles that are transported to their destination. Ribosomes, on the other hand, are the sites of protein synthesis but are not involved in the packaging or secretion. Lysosomes are involved in degrading cellular waste, and mitochondria generate energy through ATP; neither is involved in secretion.

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.
