    Fat is stored in the plant cell in      

    A)  lysosome           

    B)  sphaerosome

    C)  microsome       

    D)  peroxisome

    E)  macrophage

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Sphaerosomes are single membrane bound small, spherical organelles, which synthesized and store fats in plants. They develop from ER Sphaerosomes were called as microsomes by Hanstein (1880). Sphaerosomes in plant cells corespond to lysosomes in animal cells. Lysosomes are generally found in the cytoplasm of animal cells. They are known as suicidal bag because of hydrolytic enzymes, involved in intracellular digestion. Peroxisomes are single membrane bound organelles of plant and animal cells. They function in photorespiration in plants and in animals   promote   gluconeogenesis   and catabolism of purines because of oxidizing enzymes present in it. Macrophage is a type of WBC derived from monocytes, which invading foreign/antigenic molecules and then ultimately stimulates the production of antibodies against them.
