Cell The Unit Of Life Question 127
Question: Which one of the following cellular parts is correctly matched with their characters?
Options:
A) Centrioles - Sites for active RNA synthesis.
B) Lysosomes - Optimally active at a pH of about 8.5
C) Thylakoids - Flattened membranous sacs forming the grana of chloroplasts.
D) Ribosomes - Those on chloroplasts are larger (80S) while those in the cytoplasm are smaller (70S).

Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
[c] Centrioles serve as basal bodies for cilia and flagella.
They are concerned with spindle formation during cell division.
Lysosomes are meniuiane-bound organelles containing many hydrolytic enzymes, which are optimally active at an acidic 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.
