A. DNA Replication

B. Degradation of Proteins

C. Maturation of Synthesized Protein

D. Electron Transport Chain

Show Answer

Correct Answer » D Explanation

Ans:D. Electron Transport Chain.

This organelle is Mitrochondria.

Organelle with their Functions:

• Nucleus :DNA replication, transcription

• Endoplasmic reticulum Biosynthesis of proteins, glycoproteins, lipoproteins, drug metabolism, ethanol oxidation, synthesis of cholesterol (partial)

• Golgi body : Maturation of synthesized protein

• Lysosome :Degradation of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleotides

• Mitochondria : Electron transport chain, ATP generation,TCA cycle, beta oxidation of fatty acids, ketone body production, urea synthesis(part), heme synthesis (part), gluconeo-genesis (part), pyrimidine synthesis (part)

• Cytosol : Protein synthesis, glycolysis, glycogen metabolism, HMP shunt pathway, transaminations, fatty acid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis, heme synthesis(part), urea synthesis (part), pyrimidine synthesis (part), purine synthesis
