Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Each organelle gets its popular name from the job it does in the cell.
(A) Mitochondria — this matches (I) Powerhouse of the cell. Mitochondria carry out aerobic respiration and release the energy of food as ATP.
(B) Nucleus — this matches (III) Brain of the cell. The nucleus holds the DNA and controls all the activities of the cell, including its division.
(C) Endoplasmic reticulum — this matches (IV) Highway of the cell. Its network of membrane channels carries proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another.
(D) Lysosomes — this matches (II) Atom bomb of the cell. Lysosomes hold strong digestive enzymes; if they burst, the enzymes digest the cell itself, which is why they are also called the “suicide bags” of the cell.
