C. A II; B III; C I; D IV; E V

D. A III; B IV; C I; D V; E II

Correct Answer :

A. A V; B III; C I; D IV; E II


SER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) found in both animal cells and plant cells, makes cellular products like hormones and lipids. It also distributes those products throughout the cell and to other places in the organism. Golgi apparatus is also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes. Cristae are the infoldings or inward projections of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion, which are studded with proteins and increase the surface area for chemical reactions to occur like cellular respiration. Peroxisome is a small organelle present in the cytoplasm of many cells, which contains the reducing enzyme catalase and usually some oxidases. This organelle is involved in photorespiration.
Elaioplasts, a type of leucoplast, is specialized for the storage of lipids in plants. Elaioplasts house oil body deposits as rounded plastoglobuli, which are essentially fat droplets.
