The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Golgi Apparatus**: - The Golgi apparatus is a cell organelle that plays a crucial role in the processing and packaging of proteins and lipids. It is found in eukaryotic cells. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: "Is found only in animals" - This is incorrect because the Golgi apparatus is present in all eukaryotic cells, including plants and fungi, not just animals. - **Option B**: "Is found in prokaryotes" - This is also incorrect. Prokaryotic cells (like bacteria) do not have membrane-bound organelles, including the Golgi apparatus. - **Option C**: "Is a site of rapid ATP production" - This statement is incorrect as well. ATP production occurs primarily in the mitochondria, not the Golgi apparatus. - **Option D**: "Modifies and packages proteins" - This is the correct statement. The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion or use within the cell. 3. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all the options, the correct answer is that the Golgi apparatus "modifies and packages proteins."
