A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/12/M/J/25

Explanation
Ordering cell structures from largest to smallest
Steps:
- Recall standard sizes: nucleolus (1-8 μm), lysosomes (0.1-1.2 μm), centrioles (0.2 μm diameter), ribosomes (0.02-0.03 μm).
- Compare magnitudes: nucleolus exceeds all, lysosomes next, centrioles larger than ribosomes.
- Sequence decreasing: nucleoli > lysosomes > centrioles > ribosomes.
- Match to choices for exact order.
Why B is correct:
- Matches decreasing size order based on measured diameters in cell biology.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Begins with small centrioles, not largest nucleoli.
- C: Positions tiny ribosomes before larger centrioles.
- D: Ends with sizable lysosomes after smaller structures.
Final answer: B
