ACopying, editing, splicing, exporting
BOxidizing, reducing, storing, cooling
CSorting, tagging, packaging, distributing
DDigesting, recycling, killing, absorbing
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Sorting, tagging, packaging, distributing
1. Lipids and proteins arriving in transport vesicles still need to be sorted, packaged and tagged.
2. That work is done in the Golgi apparatus, a series of flattened membranes.
3. Sorting, tagging, packaging and distribution of lipids and proteins all take place there.
4. Digesting and recycling belong to the lysosome, so that answer names another organelle's work.
