Match the function with the appropriate organelle in the column at right. Endoplasmic reticulum Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Rough endoplasmic reticulum Golgi complex Transport vesicles Secretory granules Endosome Lysosome Mitochondrion Chloroplast Plasma membrane Nucleus Location of most of the cell\'s DNA site of fuel oxidation Separates the inside of the cell from the outside Carries important biochemical into the cell Membrane with ribosomes attached Site of photosynthesis Contains digestive enzymes Destined for fusion with the plasma membrane 9 Common form of cytoplasmic membrane Site of carbohydrate addition to proteins Processes exogenous chemicals Facilitates communication between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex

Solution

Please find the correct matches with reasons in parenthesis:

a. Endoplasmic reticulum : 9 (the endoplasmic reticulum is normally found concentrated near the nucleus and is considered as a physical extension of nuclear membrane only)

b. smooth endoplasmic reticulum: 10 (smooth ER represents the site for protein modification by glycosylation)

c. rough endoplasmic reticulum: 5 (this is the site for protein synthesis)

d. golgi complex: 12 (the proteins released for rough ER are transported to smooth ER for post translational modification such as glycosylation via the golgi complex only)

e. transport vesicles: 4 (the transport vesciles pinch off the golgi complex for tranversing the material from one part of cell to the other)

f. Secretory granules: 8 (secretory granules are released from one cell for extracellular transport which ultimately fuse with plasma membrane of other cell for inlet of the materials)

g. endosomes:11(endosome is the first vesicle which ingest any foreign material and processes it)

h. lysosomes: 7 (this contains hydrolyzing enzymes which help in digestion)

i. mitochondria: 2 (known as energy house of the cell by oxidative phosphorylation)

j. chloroplast: 6 (found only in green plants and lower organisms, chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis)

k. plasma membrane: 3 (it represents the boundary of the periphery of a cell for discrimination between inside and outside)

l. nucleus: 1 (this contains the genetic material i.e. DNA of the cell)
