In eukaryotic cell architecture, what is the primary function of the nucleus?
A
To synthesize ATP through oxidative phosphorylation using the electron transport chain
B
To break down macromolecules and worn-out organelles using hydrolytic enzymes
C
To store and protect the cell’s DNA and regulate gene expression by controlling transcription
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the main organelles mentioned and their primary functions in eukaryotic cells: mitochondria, lysosomes, nucleus, and Golgi apparatus.
Recall that mitochondria are responsible for synthesizing ATP through oxidative phosphorylation using the electron transport chain.
Understand that lysosomes break down macromolecules and worn-out organelles using hydrolytic enzymes.
Recognize that the nucleus stores and protects the cell's DNA and regulates gene expression by controlling transcription.
Know that the Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion in vesicles.
