Explanation

Option (ii) is the incorrect pair because while the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is involved in lipid synthesis, it does not synthesize cellulose. Ribosomes are correctly matched with protein synthesis, and lysosomes are correctly matched with the digestion of foreign agents. Therefore, the pairing of SER with lipid and cellulose synthesis is incorrect.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Analyze the given pairs of cell organelles and their functions.

  2. Step 2: Verify the function of Ribosome, which is protein synthesis. This is a correctly matched pair.

  3. Step 3: Verify the function of Lysosome, which is the digestion of foreign agents. This is a correctly matched pair.

  4. Step 4: Verify the function of SER. While SER helps in lipid synthesis, cellulose synthesis is not its function, making this an incorrectly matched pair.

  5. Step 5: Conclude that option (ii) is the incorrectly matched pair.
