Question

A protoplast is

• A. A cell organelle
• B. A cell with a wall
• C. A single wall-less cell
• D. Cell without nucleus

Answer 1

The correct option is C A single wall-less cell

Let's say, that we took a plant cell and used specific digestive enzymes to digest it's cell wall.

After removing the cell wall, we call that cell as 'Protoplast'.

The protoplast typically consists of cytoplasm and plasma membrane but no cell wall.

Where, Cytoplasm is a fluid like substance present inside the plasma membrane and consisting of nutrients, biomolecules and all the cell organelles.

These cell organelles are such as mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, Nucleus etc.

In the eukaryotic organisms such as plants and animals, nucleus is considered as the largest cell organelle.

Hence, the above explanation justifies the answer as option C i.e., Protoplast is a single wall-less cell.
