Match the correct function with the neuronal organelle.
A) mitochondria; production of fat-like molecules
B) mitochondria; formation of vesicles
C) endoplasmic reticulum; breakdown of proteins
D) microtubules; transport of molecules between the soma and the axon terminals
E) Golgi apparatus; extraction of energy for cell use

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microtubules are responsible for the transport of molecules between the soma and the axon terminals.

Answer: A 
 Mitochondria is responsible for the production of energy (in the form of ATP) via cellular respiration, not the production of fat-like molecules or formation of vesicles.

Answer: C 
 The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the synthesis, folding, and transport of proteins, not their breakdown.

Answer: E 
 The Golgi apparatus is responsible for the processing, packaging, and sorting of proteins and lipids for secretion, not the extraction of energy for cell use.
