Question

The largest cell organelle in the plant cells are

• A. Plastids
• B. Golgi bodies
• C. Mitochondria
• D. Chromosomes

Answer 1

The correct option is A Plastids

Chloroplasts (Green Plastids) are plant cell organelles which take part in photosynthesis and temporary or permanent storage of starch. In green alga, chloroplasts are of various shapes and sizes but chloroplasts of higher plants are disc-shaped with a diameter of 4 to 6 micrometer and thickness of 2 to 4 micrometer. In embryophytes, they are the second largest cell organelle, smaller only to the nucleus.

Chromosomes are not distinct cell organelles.

Both Golgi apparatus and mitochondria are much smaller than chloroplasts.

So, the correct answer is 'Plastids'
