Q 11
Question

Identify the pair that incorrectly matches the cell organelle with its function. (i) Ribosome — Protein synthesis (ii) SER — Lipid and cellulose synthesis (iii) Lysosome — Digestion of foreign agents

Image: Three organelle-function pairs — ribosome with protein synthesis, smooth ER with lipid synthesis, and lysosome with digestion — with the smooth ER pair flagged as incorrect because SER does not make cellulose.

Answer
Option (ii) is incorrectly matched.

Explanation

  • Ribosomes do make proteins — correct.
  • Lysosomes digest foreign agents and waste — correct.
  • SER makes lipids and hormones, but not cellulose.
  • So the SER pair is the wrong match.
SER makes lipids, not cellulose, so pair (ii) is wrong.
Organelle - Function Match Ribosomes Protein synthesis. Mitochondria Energy release (ATP). Lysosomes Break down waste materials.
