Which of the following are single membranous organelles?

Correct answer: C. Golgi bodies, Lysosome and ER

  • A. Mitochondria and ribosomes
  • B. Cytosol, mitochondria and ribosomes
  • C. Golgi bodies, Lysosome and ER
  • D. Golgi bodies, lysosome and mitochondria

Explanation

The Golgi bodies, lysosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum are all examples of single membranous organelles. The Golgi bodies are involved in processing and modifying proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and are involved in breaking down cellular waste. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism.

About Cytoplasmic Organelles

Cytoplasmic organelles are the specialized structures suspended in cytoplasm, including mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles and centrosomes. Questions compare their structures and functions in animal and plant cells, including chloroplasts and the role of the endomembrane system in transport and secretion.
