Question

Find out the false sentences.

• A. Golgi apparatus is involved with the formation of lysosomes.
• B. Nucleus, mitochondria, and plastid have DNA; Hence they are able to make their own structural proteins.
• C. Mitochondria is said to be the powerhouse of the cell as ATP is generated in them.
• D. Cytoplasm is called as protoplasm.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Cytoplasm is called as protoplasm.

The correct option is D.

Explanation for correct option:

1. The cytoplasm consists of the cytosol and cell organelles whereas the protoplasm encompasses the cytosol, cell organelles, and the nucleus.
2. The cytoplasm fills the eukaryotic cells and is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. It includes all the contents of the cells excluding the nucleus.
3. The protoplasm includes the cytoplasm and nucleus of the cell. It is surrounded by a plasma membrane.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

Option A:

1. Golgi apparatus receives the proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and processes them further for transport.
2. Lysosomes are formed by the fusion of vesicles that bud off from the Golgi body.
3. The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi body are together responsible for lysosome formation.

Option B:

1. The nucleus, mitochondria, and plastids contain their own genome and ribosomes.
2. They are self-replicating organelles and synthesize their own structural proteins.

Option C:

1. Mitochondria are referred to as the powerhouse of the cell because they are responsible for the synthesis of ATP.
2. It conducts cellular respiration which yields ATP.

Final answer: The false sentence is cytoplasm is called as protoplasm.
