Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which cell structure is correctly paired with its primary function?
A
ribosome-movement
B
mitocondria-energy production
C
vacuole-cell division
D
nucleus-storage of nutrients
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes are structures that are floating in cytoplasm and can be found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘ Ribosomes – synthesis of proteins’

Detailed explanation-3: -The classic role of mitochondria is oxidative phosphorylation, which generates ATP by utilizing the energy released during the oxidation of the food we eat. ATP is used in turn as the primary energy source for most biochemical and physiological processes, such as growth, movement and homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Golgi apparatus: Modification and glycosylation of proteins’.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus is particularly important among eukaryotic organelles because it is the location of a cell’s DNA. Two other critical organelles are mitochondria and chloroplasts, which play important roles in energy conversion and are thought to have their evolutionary origins as simple single-celled organisms.
