Match column-I (cell organelle) with column-II membrane and select the correct option from the codes given below.
Column-IColumn-II
A. MitochondriaI. Without membrane
B. LysosomesII. Single membrane
C. RibosomesIII. Double membrane

A. A - I, B - II, C - III

B. A - III, B - I, C - II

C. A - III, B - II, C - I

D. A - II, B - III, C - I

Correct Answer :

C. A - III, B - II, C - I


Mitochondria are double membrane cell organelles with the outer membrane and inner membrane. Lysosomes are a single membrane bound vesicular structure. It contains many hydrolytic enzymes and commonly called as suicidal bag of the cells. Ribosome is a granular structure, without membrane. It consists of RNA and proteins and is the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell.
