A) Drag and drop the correct term for the organelle labeled A in the diagram. (1 point)
cell Membrane lysosome endoplasmic reticulum nucleus
mitochondrion golgi complex
The correct term for organelle labeled A in the diagram is the cell membrane.
Based on the given options, the correct term for the organelle labeled A in the diagram is "cell membrane."
To determine the correct term for the organelle labeled A in the diagram, you should carefully analyze the characteristics and functions of each organelle option given.
1. Cell Membrane: The cell membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cell, controlling what substances can enter and exit the cell. It is not the correct term for the organelle labeled A.
2. Lysosome: Lysosomes are small spherical structures that contain digestive enzymes. They help break down waste materials or cellular debris. It is not the correct term for the organelle labeled A.
3. Endoplasmic Reticulum: The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes that is involved in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and lipids. However, the organelle labeled A in the diagram does not resemble the structure of the endoplasmic reticulum.
4. Nucleus: The nucleus is the central organelle in eukaryotic cells that contains the cell's DNA. It serves as the control center of the cell. However, the organelle labeled A in the diagram is not the nucleus.
5. Mitochondrion: The mitochondrion is often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell because its main function is to generate energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. It is not the correct term for the organelle labeled A.
6. Golgi Complex: The Golgi complex, also known as the Golgi apparatus, is involved in packaging, modifying, sorting, and distributing proteins and lipids to their proper destinations within the cell or for secretion outside the cell. The organelle labeled A in the diagram resembles the structure of the Golgi complex, making it the correct term for organelle A.
Therefore, the correct term for the organelle labeled A in the diagram is the Golgi Complex.
