Question

Which of the following correctly pairs the organelle with the function of the organelle in prokaryotes? The cytoskeleton forms a tough, fibrous layer that resists osmotic pressure. The photosynthetic membranes have a large surface area to hold pigments and enzymes to increase food production. Ribosomes translate DNA directly into proteins. The nucleus is the site where the synthesis of RNA from information encoded in DNA occurs.
