Multiple Choice
Which of the following is a correct matching of an organelle and its function?
A
Ribosome - Protein synthesis
B
Lysosome - Lipid synthesis
C
Mitochondria - Photosynthesis
D
Golgi apparatus - DNA replication
Verified step by step guidance
1
Begin by identifying the primary function of each organelle listed in the options. This will help in matching them correctly with their functions.
Ribosomes are known for their role in protein synthesis. They are the site where amino acids are assembled into proteins based on the instructions from mRNA.
Lysosomes are involved in the breakdown and digestion of macromolecules, not lipid synthesis. They contain enzymes that help in the degradation of cellular waste and foreign material.
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration, not photosynthesis. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, which are found in plant cells.
The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles, not DNA replication. DNA replication occurs in the nucleus.
