peroxisomes

Golgi apparatus

endoplasmic reticulum

lysosomes

- Option 1: Peroxisomes

- Peroxisomes break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances.

- They play a key role in lipid metabolism but do not sort and package proteins.

- Option 2: Golgi Apparatus

- The Golgi apparatus processes, sorts, and packages lipids and proteins.

- It is considered the cell's "post office" since it modifies and ships these molecules.

- Option 3: Endoplasmic Reticulum

- The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) synthesizes proteins and lipids.

- It consists of rough (protein synthesis) and smooth (lipid synthesis) regions but not primarily for sorting and packaging.

- Option 4: Lysosomes

- Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

- They are involved in digestion within the cell but not in sorting and distributing proteins and lipids.
