Question

Match the list of physiological processes with the list of cell organelles and select the correct answer by using the codes given below.
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Physiological processes}& \text{Cell organelle}\\ \left(a\right)\text{Photosynthesis}& \left(i\right)\text{Plasma membrane}\\ \left(b\right)\text{Mineral uptake}& \left(ii\right)\text{Chloroplast}\\ \left(c\right)\text{Cellular respiration}& \left(iii\right)\text{Ribosomes}\\ \left(d\right)\text{Protein synthesis}& \left(iv\right)\text{Mitochondria}\end{array}$

• A. a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
• B. a-i,b-iv, c-iii, d-ii
• C. a-ii, b-i,c-iv,d-iii
• D. a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv

Answer 1

The correct option is C a-ii, b-i,c-iv,d-iii

• Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants with the help of chloroplast, convert light energy into chemical energy.
• Mineral uptake is carried by the semi-permeable plasma membrane. When the mineral concentration outside the cell is higher than that inside the cell, plasma membrane permits the nutrients into the cell by osmosis. Osmosis is the process of flow of substances from a region of high concentration, to a region of lower concentration via a semi-permeable membrane.
• Mitochondria produces energy through cellular respiration. Hence, it is known as the power house of the cell.
• Ribosomes helps in protein synthesis and they are found on the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum.
