A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/11/O/N/18

Explanation
Matching cell organelle functions
Steps:
- Identify key functions: digestion of unwanted structures (lysosomes), ATP synthesis (mitochondria), lipid production (smooth ER), glycoprotein production (rough ER).
- Compare choices to standard organelle roles without structural descriptions.
- Eliminate options with mismatched or extraneous details like enzyme sacs or protein processing.
- Select the choice listing only correct functional matches.
Why B is correct:
- It accurately lists lysosome function (digestion via hydrolytic enzymes), mitochondrion (ATP via oxidative phosphorylation), smooth ER (lipid synthesis), and rough ER (glycoprotein production via ribosomes).
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Includes structural detail ("stack of flattened sacs" for Golgi) and misplaces active transport abundance (not a core function here).
- C: Starts with lysosome structure but pairs it wrongly with active transport sites (mitochondria/ER role) instead of ATP.
- D: Uses lysosome structure but swaps ATP synthesis for active transport abundance, disrupting organelle matches.
Final answer: B
