Answer to Problem 33A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (B) mitochondria.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (B) mitochondria. The illustrated figure is a rod shaped cell organelle which is carrying out respiration and producing ATP. Therefore, the cell organelle is the mitochondria. Thus, the correct answer is an option (B).
The explanation for the incorrect answer :
Option (A) Golgi apparatus. The illustrated figure is not Golgi apparatus or Golgi body because it is a series of flattened membranous sacs present in the cell cytoplasm close to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Thus, this is an incorrect option.
Option (C) nucleus. The illustrated figure is not nucleus because it is not spherical and not showing chromatin fibres. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (D) endoplasmic reticulum. The illustrated figure is highly folded membranous structure hence, it is not endoplasmic reticulum. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
