Question

Lomasomes are majorly found in
A. Algal cell
B. Fungal cell
C. Bacteriophage
D. E. coli

Answer 1

Hint: Most of the cellular organizations are almost equal to that of other eukaryotic cells.Lomasomes are the membranous structure found between the cell wall and plasma membrane.

Complete answer:
The fungal cell wall is made up of chitin, glucan, glycoproteins, and pigments.
Chitin is chemically N-acetylglucosamine sometimes also called fungal cellulose. Chitin is a complex polysaccharide. Chitin adds structural support and provides rigidity to the thin fungal cell. The protoplast of the fungal cell consists of cytoplasm, cell membrane, and various organelles. The fungus is heterotrophic because they lack chloroplast and chlorophyll. The outer layer surrounding the protoplast is plasma-membrane. Lomasomes are the membranous structure found between the cell wall and plasma membrane. Lomasomes facilitate vesicular transport and increase the surface area.
Algal cell, Bacteriophage, E. coli lacks such membranous infoldings. Protoplast contains other organelles such as large vacuole, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, ribosome, peroxisome, Golgi apparatus.

So, the correct answer to the given question is option B. Fungal cell.

Note: The vegetative part of Fungi is called mycelium and mycelium is branched into hyphae. Hyphae grow vigorously and penetrate dead organic matter. It is a long thread-like structure. Fungi are saprophytes i.e. they feed on dead and decaying organic matter. The study of fungi is called mycology. Mammals like humans have the presence of chitinase and chitinase-like protein which breaks down chitin hence we can consume mushrooms.
