Plant vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles found in plant cells. They function in storage, waste disposal, and structural support. Vacuoles contain cell sap, composed of water, nutrients, and waste products. They play a crucial role in maintaining turgor pressure and supporting plant structure. This is an MCQ on Plant Vacuole Structure […]
Peroxisomes are small, membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. They are involved in various metabolic processes, including the breakdown of fatty acids and the detoxification of harmful substances. Peroxisomes contain enzymes that facilitate these reactions, contributing to cellular homeostasis. This is an MCQ on Peroxisomes Structure and Functions. | Cell […]
Golgi bodies, or Golgi apparatus, are cellular organelles responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum. They consist of flattened membranous sacs and play a crucial role in the secretion and intracellular transport of molecules. This is an MCQ on Golgi Apparatus – Structure […]
Glyoxysomes are specialized peroxisomes found in plant cells. They participate in lipid metabolism, converting stored lipids into carbohydrates during germination of seeds. Glyoxysomes contain enzymes like isocitrate lyase and malate synthase that enable this conversion in the glyoxylate cycle. This is an MCQ on Glyoxisomes Structure and Functions. | Cell […]
