Question

Chloragogen cells are present in

• A. Body wall of Leucosolenia
• B. Blood of earthworm
• C. Coelomic fluid of earthworm
• D. Blood of cockroach

Answer 1

The correct option is C Coelomic fluid of earthworm

The cells store glycogen and neutralize toxins, are yellowish in colour due to the presence of yellow granules called chlorosomes and are present in the coelomic fluid of some annelids.

These cells are derived from the inner coelomic epithelium, and help in excretory functions, as most commonly demonstrated in earthworms.

So the correct answer is 'Coelomic fluid of earthworm'.
