Question

Centrosome is found in
A. Nucleus
B. Nucleolus
C. Cytoplasm
D. Chromosomes

Answer 1

Hint:It is a cell's semifluid material present internal to the cellular membrane and external to the nuclear membrane.

Complete answer
First we should know about cells to answer this question. The cell is the basic unit of all known organisms in structure, function, and biology. A cell is the smallest life unit. The "building blocks of life" are also called cells. Cell studies are called cell biology, or cytology. Cells consist of cytoplasm confined to a membrane that comprises several biomolecules. There are different organelles inside the cell. Centrosomes within a cell are essential organelles present close to the nucleus.
Now, let us find the solution from the options-
>Cytoplasm consists primarily of liquids, but includes enzymes, organelles, salts, and other organic molecules as well.
>Centrosomes are structures located within the cell's cytoplasm and involved in the division of cells.
>Centrosomes consist of centrioles.
>Cytoplasm keeps the cell’s internal components in place and protects them against damage.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) Cytoplasm.

Note:Students may confuse between nucleus and cytoplasm. Nucleus is a cell organelle, and cytoplasm is a fluid material located within the cell where the cell organelles are present. Chromosomes are located in the nucleus. Nucleus has a nuclear membrane, nucleoplasm, chromatin network and nucleolus. Centromere is an organelle present near the nucleus.
