Match List I (Physiological processes) with List II (Cell organelles) and select the correct answer by using the codes given below the lists:
List I - List II
1. I. Photosynthesis - A) Plasma membrane
2. II. Mineral uptake - B) Chloroplast
3. III. Respiration - C) Mitochondria
4. IV. Protein Synthesis - D) Ribosomes
Codes:
A
I - A, II - B, III - C, IV - D
B
I - A, II - B, III - D, IV - C
C
I - B, II - A, III - C, IV - D
D
I - B, II - A, III - D, IV – C
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
1. The question requires matching physiological processes (List I) with the cell organelles where they primarily occur (List II).
2. I. Photosynthesis, the process of converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose), occurs in Chloroplasts (B).
3. II. Mineral uptake from the environment into the cell involves transport across the cell boundary, which is the Plasma membrane (A).
4. III. Cellular Respiration, the process of breaking down glucose to release energy (ATP), primarily occurs in Mitochondria (C).
5. IV. Protein Synthesis, the process of creating proteins based on genetic information, occurs at the Ribosomes (D).
6. The correct matching is: I-B, II-A, III-C, IV-D.
