Oil body is found in the cells of___________?
Correct answer: A. Diatoms
- A. Diatoms
- B. Slime moulds
- C. Chlorophycean forms
- D. None of the these
Explanation
Diatom cells commonly contain oil bodies that act as reserve food and also help reduce density, supporting flotation. Students may choose chlorophycean algae because many algae store oils, but oil bodies are a characteristic reserve feature emphasized for diatoms in this question.

About Animal and Plant Cell
Animal and plant cells share a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, but plant cells also have a cellulose cell wall, chloroplasts and a large permanent vacuole. Questions cover organelle structure and function, differences between the two cell types, and how membranes control movement of substances.
