A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/12/M/J/20

Explanation
Matching cell functions to organelle structures
Steps:
- Function 1 matches centrioles, which synthesize microtubules and appear as non-membrane bound cylindrical structures (Y).
- Function 2 matches rough ER, site of polypeptide synthesis on membranes (V).
- Function 3 matches lysosomes, which package hydrolytic enzymes in an enclosed inner cavity (W).
- Option C correctly pairs 1-Y, 2-V, 3-W.
Why C is correct:
- It aligns functions with standard organelle descriptions: centrioles (Y) for microtubules, rough ER (V) for protein synthesis, lysosomes (W) for enzyme packaging per cell biology definitions.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Assigns function 1 to W (cavity, like lysosomes) instead of centrioles' Y.
- B: Pairs function 2 with W (lysosome cavity) and 3 with Z (likely ribosomes or Golgi, not enzymes).
- D: Incorrectly matches functions 2 and 3 both to Z, duplicating one structure.
Final answer: C
