Question

    Which of the following cell organelles are correctly

    matched with their respective functions?
    A Mitochondria - Photosynthesis Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Chloroplast - Protein synthesis Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Ribosomes - Intracellular digestion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    None of the provided matches are correct:

    - Mitochondria are the cell's powerhouses, generating ATP through cellular respiration—not photosynthesis, which occurs in chloroplasts.

    - Chloroplasts are specialized organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place, converting light energy into chemical energy—not protein synthesis, which occurs at ribosomes.

    - Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis by translating messenger RNA into proteins—not intracellular digestion, which is performed by lysosomes.
