Which of the following pairs of terms is mismatched?
A) Mitochondria - cristae
B) Golgi apparatus - cisternae
C) Lysosomes - hydrolytic enzymes
D) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum - chromatin
E) Cilia - basal bodies
Chromatin
Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins that forms chromosomes within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
Cristae
Cristae are the folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane, increasing the surface area for ATP production within a cell.
Cisternae
Flattened membrane-bound sacs found in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, involved in protein and lipid synthesis and transport.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes, not in housing chromatin. Chromatin, which consists of DNA and proteins, is found within the nucleus, not the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
