UPSC CDS-2 – 2017
The correct match is A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3.
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell because they are the primary sites of cellular respiration, generating ATP. Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and algae where photosynthesis takes place. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris through intracellular digestion.
This question tests basic knowledge of the functions of major eukaryotic cell organelles. Understanding the primary role of each organelle is fundamental in biology.
