Question

Waste laden cells of oligochaetes and polychaetes are

• A. Thesocytes
• B. Eleocytes
• C. Follicular cells
• D. Yellow cells

Answer 1

The correct option is D Yellow cells

Waste laden cells are also known as chloragogen cells or as y cells, these cells are present in annelids. They are functionally similar to the liver in vertebrates.

These cells store glycogen and neutralize toxins and are present in the coelomic fluid of some annelids(oligochaetes and polychaetes). They are yellowish in colour due to the presence of yellow granules called chloragosomes.

Hence, the correct answer is (D)
