Question

Which of these is a part of the GERL complex?
A. Mitochondria
B. Centriole
C. Golgi bodies
D. Ribosome

Answer 1

Hint: The GERL complex is a system which carries out cellular processes like endocytosis of external materials. Exocytosis of internal substances. Synthesising and recycling of materials, and removal of waste products. This system was introduced by Novikoff.

Complete answer:
A-Mitochondria
Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles considered as the powerhouse of the cell which converts oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate. ATP is the chemical energy of the cell that helps in the cell's metabolic activities. This process is named as aerobic respiration and it helps animals to breathe oxygen.

B-Centriole
They are found in eukaryotic cells, centrioles are cylindrical structures composed of microtubules. In the cell, centrioles help in cell division by facilitating the separation of chromosomes that’s why they are located near the nucleus. Centrioles are the largest protein-based structures.

C-Golgi bodies
Golgi complexes are membrane-bound organelle of eukaryotic cells that are made up of a series of flattened pouches called cisternae. The Golgi apparatus main function is to transport, modify and package proteins and lipids into vesicles and delivered to targeted destinations. It is located in the cytoplasm.

D-Ribosome
Ribosomes are small particles consisting of RNA and associated proteins that help to synthesise proteins. Proteins are essential for cellular functions such as repairing damage and directing chemical processes.

Thus, the correct answer for this is happening option C) Golgi bodies.

Note: The endomembrane system involves the flow of substances from one component to another by small membrane vesicles. GERL is formed by Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosomes. These organelles form a system to carry out endocytosis of external materials.
