Match List-I (Physiological processes) with List-II (Cell organelles) and select the correct answer by using the codes given below: List- I List-IIA. Photosynthesis1. Plasma membraneB. Mineral uptake2. ChloroplastC. Respiration3. MitochondriaD. Protein synthesis4. RibosomesCodes:

aA – 1; B – 2; C – 3; D – 4
bA – 1; B – 2; C – 4; D – 3
cA – 2; B – 1; C – 3; D – 4
dA – 2; B – 1; C – 4; D – 2
✓ Correct answer: c) A – 2; B – 1; C – 3; D – 4
ExplanationA is matched with 2: Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts where light energy is converted into chemical energy forming glucose and oxygen.B is matched with 1: Mineral uptake happens at the plasma membrane, where ions and nutrients are absorbed into the cell.C is matched with 3: Respiration takes place in the mitochondria, where glucose is broken down to release energy in the form of ATP.D is matched with 4: Protein synthesis occurs at the ribosomes where mRNA is translated into proteins.405
