Question

Match the entries in Group I with those in Group II
Group I
P) Nucleolus
Q) Sphaerosomes
R) Peroxisomes
S) Plasmodesmata
Group II
1) lipid storage
2) breakdown of fatty acids
3) transport of macromolecules
4) RNA synthesis

• A. P-4, Q-3, R-1, S-2
• B. P-4, Q-1, R-2, S-3
• C. P-2, Q-1, R-5, S-2
• D. P-1, Q-3, R-4, S-2

Hint:

Remember: Nucleolus = RNA factory; Peroxisome = fatty acid oxidation; Plasmodesmata = cell-to-cell transport.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Match each organelle with its function.
• Nucleolus → site of RNA synthesis (4).
• Sphaerosomes → store lipids in plant cells (1).
• Peroxisomes → involved in fatty acid breakdown via β-oxidation (2).
• Plasmodesmata → facilitate transport of macromolecules between plant cells (3).
Step 2: Match with provided options.
Only option (B) corresponds to the correct mapping: P-4, Q-1, R-2, S-3.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, option (B) correctly matches organelles with their functions.
