Question

Silver nitrate solution is used to study

• A. Endoplasmic reticulum
• B. Golgi apparatus
• C. Nucleus
• D. Mitochondria

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Golgi apparatus

The correct option is B.

The explanation for the correct option :

1. The structure of the Golgi apparatus may be investigated using the silver nitrate method.
2. Silver staining is another name for this procedure.
3. When the stained Golgi structure is examined under a microscope, the stained vesicles of the Golgi may be clearly seen against the colorless backdrop.
4. The Golgi apparatus is often referred to as the Golgi complex, the Golgi body, or just the Golgi.
5. It is a kind of organelle found in nearly all eukaryotic cells.
6. It is a cytoplasmic endomembrane system component that bundles proteins into membrane-bound vesicles before transporting them to their destination.

The explanation for the incorrect options :

OPTION (A)

1. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a eukaryotic cell compartment (organelle) composed of membrane sacs known as cisternae.
2. The 'rough' ER is the site of protein synthesis, and newly produced proteins undergo glycosylation in the rough ER as a result of bound ribosomes.

OPTION (C)

1. A neuron is the brain's basic functioning unit.
2. Neurons are nervous system cells that transmit information to another nerve, muscle, and gland cells.
3. The majority of neurons have a cell body, an axon, and dendrites.

OPTION (D)

1. The lysosome is a cell organelle that is membrane-bound and contains digesting enzymes.
2. Lysosomes perform a range of biological roles.
3. Lysosomes break down extraneous or worn-out cell components.
4. Lysosomes can destroy invading viruses and bacteria.

Final Answer: Silver nitrate solution is used to study of Golgi apparatus.
