Question

Silver nitrate solution is used to study which of the following?
A. Endoplasmic Reticulum
B. Golgi apparatus
C. Neuron
D. Lysosomes

Answer 1

Hint:
Silver nitrate method can be used to study the structure of the Golgi apparatus. This method is also termed as the silver staining method. Under the microscope when the structure of stained Golgi has viewed the stained vesicles of the Golgi can be easily observed against the colourless background.

Complete answer:
> Option (A) Endoplasmic Reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a compartment (organelle) in the eukaryotic cells which consists of membrane sacs that are called cisternae. The 'rough' ER is the site of synthesis of various proteins and also newly synthesized proteins are modified by glycosylation in rough ER because of bound ribosomes.
> Option (B) The Golgi apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is called with different names such as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi. It is an organelle that is found in the most eukaryotic cells. Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm, it packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination.
> Option (C) Neuron
The basic working unit of the brain is called a neuron. It is a specialized cell that is designed to transmit all the information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells. Neurons are the cells within the nervous system which are used to transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells. Most of the neurons have a cell body, an axon, and dendrites.
> Option (D) Lysosomes
A membrane-bound cell organelle that contains the digestive enzymes is known as the lysosome. Lysosomes are involved with the various cell processes. Excess or worn-out cell parts are broken down by lysosomes. Invading viruses and bacteria can be destroyed with the help of lysosomes.

Thus, the correct answer is an option B- Golgi Apparatus.

Note:
Silver nitrate solution is used for studying the Golgi Apparatus. Golgi apparatus is an organelle that is present in eukaryotic cells which consists of a stack of flattened sacs. Other names used for Golgi Apparatus are Golgi Complex, Golgi body or Golgi.
