The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the pairs of cellular functions and their corresponding organelles, we will analyze each pair step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Pair (A): Starch storage - Amyloplast** - **Analysis**: Amyloplasts are specialized organelles that store starch in plant cells. This pair is correctly matched. - **Conclusion**: Correct pair. 2. **Pair (B): Detoxification of `H₂O₂` - Lysosomes** - **Analysis**: Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris, but they are not primarily responsible for detoxifying hydrogen peroxide (`H₂O₂`). This function is primarily carried out by peroxisomes, which specifically metabolize hydrogen peroxide. - **Conclusion**: Incorrect pair. 3. **Pair (C): Oxidation of food - Mitochondria** - **Analysis**: Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell, where cellular respiration occurs, leading to the oxidation of food and production of ATP (energy). This pair is correctly matched. - **Conclusion**: Correct pair. 4. **Pair (D): Synthesis of steroidal hormones - SER (Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum)** - **Analysis**: The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is involved in the synthesis of lipids, including steroid hormones. This pair is correctly matched. - **Conclusion**: Correct pair. 5. **Pair (E): Digestion of glycoproteins - Golgi complex** - **Analysis**: The Golgi complex is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids, but it does not digest glycoproteins. The digestion of glycoproteins is primarily carried out by lysosomes. - **Conclusion**: Incorrect pair. ### Summary of Findings: - Correct pairs: (A), (C), (D) - Incorrect pairs: (B), (E) ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that pairs (B) and (E) are incorrect. ---
