Which one of the following cellular parts is correctly matched with their characters ?
Centrioles Sites for active RNA synthesis.
Lysosomes Optimally active at a pH of about 8.5.
Thylakoids Flattened membranous sacs forming the grana of chloroplasts.
Ribosomes Those on chloroplasts are larger (80S) while those in the cytoplasm are smaller (70S).
Correct Answer :
C. Thylakoids Flattened membranous sacs forming the grana of chloroplasts.
Centrioles serve as basal bodies for cilia and flagella. They are concerned with spindle formation during cell division. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing many hydrolytic enzymes, which are optimally active at an acid pH (near pH 5). Thylakoids are membrane-bound organelles found within chloroplasts. The thylakoid membrane, forms many flattened, fluid-filled tubules that enclose a single convoluted compartment. These tubules tend to stack on top of each other to form a structure called a granum.
