Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. i-d, ii-a, iii-b, iv-c.

  • Mitochondria make most of the energy for the cell and have their own genetic material that is different from the genetic material found in the nucleus.
  • A ribosome is an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell.
  • The nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell's control center. 
  • A lysosome has three main functions: the breakdown/digestion of macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), cell membrane repairs, and responses against foreign substances such as bacteria, viruses and other antigens.
