A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/12/O/N/19

Explanation
Matching functions to animal cell structures Steps:
- Function 3 synthesizes polypeptides on rough ER, matching V (membranes surrounding enclosed inner cavity).
- Function 1 involves centrioles producing microtubules for spindle formation, matching W (centriole appearance, non-membrane bound structures).
- Function 2 involves centrosome synthesizing microtubules for spindle, matching Z (non-membrane bound spherical structures organizing microtubules).
- Eliminate mismatches by confirming only C aligns all three correctly.
Why C is correct:
- Rough ER (V) hosts ribosome-mediated polypeptide synthesis; centrioles (W) produce spindle microtubules; centrosome (Z) synthesizes them, per cell biology definitions.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Assigns 3 to Z (nucleus, not for polypeptides).
- B: Assigns 1 to Y (Golgi-like stack, not for microtubules); 3 to V correct but others fail.
- D: Assigns 3 to W (centriole, not for polypeptides).
Final answer: C
