2024 Cell: The Unit of LifeStructure and Function of Cell Organelles Medium Question 17 of 137 in Cell: The Unit of Life

Match List-I with List-II regarding cell organelles and their functions/structural features.

Column I

  • A. Nucleolus
  • B. Centriole
  • C. Leucoplasts
  • D. Golgi apparatus

Column II

  • I. Site of formation of glycolipid
  • II. Organization like the cartwheel
  • III. Site for active ribosomal RNA synthesis
  • IV. For storing nutrients

Correct answer: A → III, B → II, C → IV, D → I

Solution

Nucleolus – site for active ribosomal RNA synthesis Centriole – organisation like a cartwheel (9 peripheral triplet microtubules) Leucoplasts – colourless plastids for storing nutrients (starch, oils, proteins) Golgi apparatus – important site of formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids Correct match: A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I.

Concept Matching nucleolus, centriole, leucoplasts, Golgi apparatus to their roles
