Question

A nectar secreting gland cell has

• A. Vacuolated cytoplasm with large nucleus
• B. Granular non-vacuolated cytoplasm
• C. Peripheral granular cytoplasm with small nucleus
• D. Granular non-vacuolated cytoplasm with a conspicuous nucleus

Answer 1

The correct option is D Granular non-vacuolated cytoplasm with a conspicuous nucleus

Nectaries are the excretory glands (that exude their secretion and do not store it) which are characterized by presence of rich granular cytoplasm in protoplast, lack vacuoles and has conspicuous nucleus (Conspicuous nucleus means that the nucleus is quite prominent and easily stands out when you observe the structure of the respective cell).

So, the correct answer is 'Granular non-vacuolated cytoplasm with a conspicuous nucleus.'
