Which one of the following is not a correct pairing of structure and function?
A
Golgi complex-Breakdown of complex molecules
B
Mitochondria -Producing energy
C
Chromosomes-Vehicles of heredity
D
Chloroplast-Photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Golgi apparatus is not involved in protein production. Protein production usually occurs at the ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Golgi apparatus is a central intracellular membrane-bound organelle with key functions in trafficking, processing, and sorting of newly synthesized membrane and secretory proteins and lipids. To best perform these functions, Golgi membranes form a unique stacked structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Golgi apparatus: Modification and glycosylation of proteins’.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Golgi complex prepares proteins and lipid (fat) molecules for use in other places inside and outside the cell. The Golgi complex is a cell organelle. Also called Golgi apparatus and Golgi body.
