The correct Answer is:
To identify the incorrect match from the given options, we will analyze each match one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Golgi Apparatus - Site of Glycoprotein and Glycolipid Formation**: - The Golgi apparatus is indeed responsible for the modification, sorting, and packaging of proteins and lipids. It is a key site for the formation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. - **Conclusion**: This match is correct. 2. **Endoplasmic Reticulum - Site of Protein and Lipid Synthesis**: - The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has two types: rough ER (with ribosomes, synthesizes proteins) and smooth ER (synthesizes lipids). - **Conclusion**: This match is also correct. 3. **Peroxisomes - Site of Phospholipid Synthesis**: - Peroxisomes are involved in various metabolic processes, including the synthesis of certain lipids. However, while they participate in lipid metabolism, the synthesis of phospholipids is primarily completed in the endoplasmic reticulum. - **Conclusion**: This match is correct in the context of lipid metabolism but can be misleading as the primary synthesis occurs in the ER. 4. **Chloroplast - Present in All Plants**: - Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll. However, not all plants have chloroplasts. For example, the Rafflesia plant is a parasitic plant that lacks chloroplasts and obtains nutrients from its host. - **Conclusion**: This match is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The incorrect match is **Chloroplast - Present in All Plants**. ---
