Question

Which of the following cell organelles are named after the name of it discovered?
(A) ER
(B) DNA
(C) Golgi bodies
(D) Mitochondria

Answer 1

Hint: Cell membranes are the specialized type of entity that is found inside the cell. It includes nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuole, lysosome, centrosome etc. Out of these, nucleus and the cytoplasm are present in most of the cells.

Complete Answer:
(A) ER:
It consists of many tubules connected to the membrane in the eukaryotic cells. It is classified into a rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes protein and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes lipids. It exists in the forms of vesicles, cisternae and tubules.

(B) DNA:
This is the genetic material that is placed in the plastid of the cell. The full form of the DNA is the Deoxyribose nucleic acid.

(C) Golgi bodies:
Camillo Golgi discovered dense structures near the nucleus. Hence it was named after him. These are present in the eukaryotic cell which are useful for packaging the macromolecules like proteins and the lipids into the endoplasmic reticulum when they move to the other parts of the body.

(D) Mitochondria:
These are the double walled organelle which are responsible for providing the energy to the cells in the form of ATP. They also contain the hormones and the blood components.

Thus, the option (C) is correct.

Note: Golgi apparatus modify the protein by packing the proteins into the transition vesicles produced by the endoplasmic reticulum before they leave the cell to reach its destination by transporting through the blood. Hence, they are called as marketing and the packaging unit of the cell.
