Final answer:

Corresponding functions for cell organelles include: nucleus for storing genetic material, mitochondria for energy production, endoplasmic reticulum for lipid synthesis and detoxification, Golgi apparatus for protein packaging and modification, and ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Place the corresponding letter on the line:

  • Nucleus: d. Storage of genetic material
  • Mitochondria: c. Cellular respiration and energy production
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum: e. Synthesis of lipids and detoxification (Note: The endoplasmic reticulum also takes part in the synthesis of proteins, but since only one answer is to be matched, 'e' fits the best overall.)
  • Golgi Apparatus: b. Packaging and modification of proteins
  • Ribosomes: a. Synthesis of proteins

The nucleus serves as the cell's control center, housing DNA and orchestrating cellular function. Ribosomes are involved in synthesizing proteins, which are then modified and packaged by the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. The endoplasmic reticulum is also involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes. The mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell, are responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration, supplying energy for various cellular activities.
