  • A. Higher plant cells
  • B. Lower plant cells
  • C. Animals cells
  • D. Both (B) &(C)

Explanation: Only lower plant cells and animal cells have centrioles at right angle to each other so correct option is D

Correct answer: Both (B) &(C)
  • A. Microfilament and inter mediate filaments
  • B. Microfilaments and microtubules
  • C. Inter mediate filaments and micro tubules
  • D. Only microfilaments

Explanation: The functional roles for microfilaments involve cell membrane motility, endo- and exocytosis, secretion and vesicle transfer so option…

Correct answer: Inter mediate filaments and micro tubules
  • A. Thylakoids are assembled into stacks
  • B. Thylakoids exist as a maze of folded membranes.
  • C. The space surrounding thylakoids is called stroma.
  • D. Thylakoids contain chlorophyll.

Explanation: Thylakoids are stacks of granum, they are surrounded by stroma that is the colorless fluid surrounding the grana within the chloroplast.

Correct answer: Thylakoids exist as a maze of folded membranes.
