Question

Identify the non-membrane bound bodies in the cell among the following: A) Chloroplast B) Peroxysomes C) Ribosome D) Endoplasmic reticulum E) Phosphate granules F) glycogen granules

• A. A, B
• B. C, D
• C. E, F
• D. A, D

Hint:

Ribosomes are also non-membrane bound, but inclusions like granules specifically lack membranes entirely.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the grouping.
Cell parts can be sorted by whether they are wrapped in a membrane or not. We must spot the bodies that have no membrane around them.

Step 2: Identify the membrane-bound ones.
Chloroplast (A) has a double membrane, Peroxisomes (B) have a single membrane, and Endoplasmic reticulum (D) is a network of membranes. So A, B, and D are membrane-bound.

Step 3: Look at the remaining items.
That leaves Ribosome (C), Phosphate granules (E), and glycogen granules (F) as possible non-membrane bodies.

Step 4: Focus on cell inclusions.
Phosphate granules and glycogen granules are stored food and mineral deposits floating freely in the cytoplasm. They are classic non-membrane bound inclusions.

Step 5: Match the option choices.
Among the given option pairs, the choice that lists both phosphate granules (E) and glycogen granules (F) is the one that fits non-membrane bodies.

Step 6: Conclude.
Therefore the correct non-membrane bound bodies from the options are E and F.
\[ \boxed{\text{E, F}} \]
