Question

Dictyosomes are
A. Class of ribosomes
B. Place of flagella organelles
C. Respiratory particles
D. Golgi bodies (of plant cells)

Answer 1

Hint: Cell has many organelles. Net-like flat,membrane-bound cavity structures called cisternae are called dictyosomes. Each cell organelle performs different functions. The main function of dictyosomes is to store the proteins.

Complete answer: Transport proteins are stored in the dictyosomes, modified, sorted, and packed into vesicles. The dictyosomes are dispersed in the cytoplasm of plant cells and hence it is difficult to identify them whereas they are stacked tightly together in animal cells. Dictyosomes are also called as Golgi apparatus or Golgi body or Golgi complex.
So, option D: Golgi bodies of plant cells is the right answer for the above-provided question.

Additional information:
Dictyosomes are originated from vesicular clusters that bud off the endoplasmic reticulum. 40 to 100 stacks of cisternae fuse together to form the golgi body in mammalian cells. Protein packaging in vesicles takes place from the first cisternal structure called CGN to the final cisternal structure named TGN which are destined for lysosomes. The term CGN represents the cis golgi network and the term TGN refers to the trans-golgi network.

Note: Italian scientist Camillo Golgi identified Golgi's body in 1897 during the study of the nervous system and was named after him in 1898. Sixty cisternae have been observed in protists. In eukaryotes, the subcellular localization of the golgi apparatus varies. Golgi bodies are adjacent to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are a common feature among Golgi bodies. Golgi stacks are not concentrated at the centrosomal region and do not form golgi ribbons in plants.
