    Pigment-containing membranous extensions in some cyan bacteria are 

    A)  heterocyst      

    B)  basal bodies

    C)  pneumatophores

    D)  chromatophores

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Cyanobacteria contain chlorophyll but the chlorophyll is not located in chloroplasts, rather it is found in chromatophores, enfolding of   the   plasma   membrane,   where photosynthesis is carried out. Heterocysts are specialised nitrogen fixing cells formed by some filamentous cyanobacteria such as Nostoc. A basal body is an organelle formed from a centriole and a short cylindrical array of microtubules. Pneumatophores are lateral roots that grow upward for varying distance and function as the site of oxygen intake for the submerged primary roots.
