    Which one of the following cellular parts is correctly matched with their characters?

    A) Centrioles - Sites for active RNA synthesis.

    B) Lysosomes - Optimally active at a pH of about 8.5

    C) Thylakoids - Flattened membranous sacs forming the grana of chloroplasts.

    D) Ribosomes - Those on chloroplasts are larger (80S) while those in the cytoplasm are smaller (70S).

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Centrioles serve as basal bodies for cilia and flagella. They are concerned with spindle formation during cell division. Lysosomes are meniuiane-bound organelles containing many hydrolytic enzymes, which are optimally active at an acidic pH (near pH 5). Thylakoids are membrane-bound organelles found within chloroplasts. The thylakoid membrane, forms many flattened, fluid-filled tubules that enclose a single convoluted compartment. These tubules tend to stack on top of each other to form a structure called a granum.
