Answer
The incorrectly matched pair is (ii) SER — Lipid and cellulose synthesis.
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is involved in the synthesis and storage of fats (lipids) and hormones. It is not involved in cellulose synthesis, so this pair is incorrectly matched. The other two pairs are correct: ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, and lysosomes contain enzymes that break down (digest) unwanted materials, worn-out parts and foreign agents.
