Question

Match the component of eukaryotic cells (Column I) with its respective function (Column II).

• A. P – 1, Q – 2, R – 3, S – 4
• B. P – 2, Q – 1, R – 3, S – 4
• C. P – 3, Q – 1, R – 2, S – 4
• D. P – 3, Q – 1, R – 2, S – 4

Hint:

Understanding the functions of organelles and structures in eukaryotic cells is essential for studying cell biology and their roles in cellular processes like digestion, detoxification, and motility.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let’s go through each component and its corresponding function: - Lysosome (P): The lysosome is involved in the digestion of macromolecules within the cell, breaking down waste materials and cellular debris. Thus, P matches with 1. Digestion of macromolecules.
- Peroxisome (Q): Peroxisomes are involved in detoxifying harmful compounds and metabolic processes like fatty acid oxidation. Hence, Q matches with 2. Detoxification of harmful compounds.
- Glyoxysome (R): Glyoxysomes are specialized peroxisomes found in plants that convert fatty acids into sugar. Therefore, R matches with 3. Conversion of fatty acids to sugar.
- Cytoskeleton (S): The cytoskeleton provides structure to the cell and plays a critical role in cell motility. Thus, S matches with 4. Involvement in cell motility.
The correct matching is (A) P – 1, Q – 2, R – 3, S – 4.
