Question

Sliver 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:

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Golgi apparatus are membrane bound cell organelle with sacs, tubules, vesicles which helps to secrete biochemical compounds.
2. It have thin and curved structures called cisternae. In plants it is called dictyosomes.
3. The main functions are:

1. Repair and synthesis of cell membrane, cell wall.
2. Lysosome are formed from Golgi.
3. Storage, modification and packaging of biochemical compounds.
4. Formation of simple and complex sugar.

4. While using silver nitrate solution, silver get impregnated inside the Golgi making it cellular processes visible.

Thus, Sliver nitrate solution is used to study Golgi apparatus.
