To match the functions with the appropriate cellular organelles, let's analyze each function:

  1. Modifies cellular products and ships them in vesicles: This function is performed by the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

  2. Responsible for lipid synthesis: This function is carried out by the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER). The Smooth ER is involved in the synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, and detoxification of drugs and poisons.

  3. Detoxifies free radicals: This function is associated with Peroxisomes. Peroxisomes contain enzymes that detoxify harmful substances, including free radicals, and break down fatty acids.

  4. Information control center and contains DNA: This function is characteristic of the Nucleus. The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the cell's DNA and coordinating activities such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.

In summary, the matches are:

  • Modifies cellular products and ships them in vesicles: Golgi apparatus
  • Responsible for lipid synthesis: Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
  • Detoxifies free radicals: Peroxisomes
  • Information control center and contains DNA: Nucleus
