A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/11/O/N/22
Question 2 from 9700/11/O/N/22

Explanation

Matching Organelle Functions to Descriptions

Steps:

  • Recall key organelle functions: centrioles form cilia and organize mitosis; ribosomes assemble proteins from amino acids; Golgi apparatus modifies proteins and packages lysosomes.
  • Examine choice A for alignment: it pairs "make cilia" with centrioles, "amino" processes with ribosomes, and "makes lysosomes" with Golgi.
  • Compare to other choices: B mixes vesicle transport with chromosome movement incorrectly; C and D jumble protein modification and lipid synthesis.
  • Confirm A as the only row with precise, standard matches.

Why A is correct:

  • A aligns with definitions: centrioles produce cilia (microtubule-based structures), ribosomes synthesize proteins using amino acids, and Golgi forms lysosomes (enzyme-containing vesicles).

Why the others are wrong:

  • B incorrectly links vesicle movement to cytoplasm assembly and chromosome separation, confusing ER/Golgi with mitotic spindles.
  • C mispairs protein modification with anaphase cell parts, blending Golgi roles with mitosis.
  • D wrongly associates triglyceride production (smooth ER) with cell movement and incomplete protein modification.

Final answer: A

Topic: Cells as the basic units of living organisms
