Which of the following statements correctly matches a cell part with its function?

The cell membrane packages lipids for export.
The mitochondria perform photosynthesis.
The lysosome digests molecules.
The nucleus produces energy.

Explanation

Answer: C - The lysosome digests molecules. A lysosome is a cellular organelle that acts as the cell's recycling center, breaking down and digesting cellular waste and unwanted material, such as old cell parts and foreign substances, and recycles it into useful molecules. It contains hydrolytic enzymes that break down the waste material into smaller components that can be re-used by the cell.
