Question

Which one of the following pairs is NOT correctly matched?

• A. Middle lamella – Layer between adjacent cell walls in plants derived from cell plates.
• B. Plasmodesmata – The membrane surrounding the vacuole in plants.
• C. Grana – Membrane bound discs in chloroplasts that contain chlorophylls and carotenoids.
• D. Cristae – The tubular structure formed by the folding of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Plasmodesmata – The membrane surrounding the vacuole in plants.

Plasmodesmata are cytoplasmic bridges between two adjacent cells which connect the neighbouring cells. The membrane surrounding the vacuole in plants is the tonoplast.
