Match the following terms and definitions. 1. powerhouse of the cell lysosomes 2. protein producers plastids 3. shipping and packaging center mitochondrion 4. food and pigment storage ribosomes 5. transportation highway of the cell endoplasmic reticulum 6. enzyme producer for digestion golgi apparatus

Mitochondria is considered as the power house of the cell because it helps in producing large amount of energy in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) through a process called cellular respiration.

Ribosomes are the membrane bound organelles that are considered as the site for protein synthesis from mRNA ( translateionalled translation).

Golgi apparatus helps in storing, packaging, and distribution of proteins and lipids to other parts of the cell. Thus, it is considered as shipping and packaging center.

Plastids are specialized membrane bound organelle present in plants, algae, and certain protists and help in the storing food and pigment ( such as chlorplast that has green pigment called chlorophyll).

Endoplasmic reticulum - It is a specialised membrane bound system, which serves as transportation highway of the cell as it helps in transport of different molecules ( like proteins) in different parts of the cell.

Lysosmes are specialized membrane bound organelle that contain hydrolytic enzymes, which are capable of digesting all types of biological polymers.

Thus correct match is-

1.     powerhouse of the cell- mitochondrion

2.    protein producers- ribosomes  

3.    shipping and packaging center- Golgi apparatus

4.    food and pigment storage- plastids    

5.    transportation highway of the cell- endoplasmic reticulum

6.    enzyme producer for digestion- lysosomes
