Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists : List-I List-II (Cell Organelle) (Function) A. Mitochondria 1. Photosynthesis B. Chloroplast 2. Protein synthesis C. Ribosomes 3. Intracellular digestion D. Lysosomes 4, ATP formation Code :
Explanation
The correct matching of cell organelles to their functions is as follows: Mitochondria are known as the 'powerhouse of the cell' because they are responsible for energy production through the formation of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) [3]. Chloroplasts are green organelles containing chlorophyll, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis in plants [2]. Ribosomes are the primary sites for protein synthesis, often referred to as protein factories [2]. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and are responsible for intracellular digestion and waste management [3]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-4 (Mitochondria-ATP formation), B-1 (Chloroplast-Photosynthesis), C-2 (Ribosomes-Protein synthesis), and D-3 (Lysosomes-Intracellular digestion). This corresponds to option 3.
