Question

Identify the pair that incorrectly matches the cell organelle with its function.

Options

• Ribosome - Protein synthesis

• SER - Lipid and cellulose synthesis

• Lysosome - Digestion of foreign agents

Answer 1

SER - Lipid and cellulose synthesis

Explanation:

The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is involved in the synthesis and storage of fats (lipids) and hormones. This pair is mismatched because it is not involved in the synthesis of cellulose. The other two pairs are correct: ribosomes are the centres of protein synthesis, and lysosomes contain enzymes that break down (digest) undesirable materials, worn-out pieces and foreign agents.
