  • c. Golgi apparatus: The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
  • d. Nucleus: The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cell growth and reproduction, but it is not directly involved in protein synthesis.
