What is the name of the network of tiny tubular structures found in eukaryotic cells?
Options
- AMitochondria
- Breticulum
- CMicrovilli
- DMicrofilament
Correct answer
B. reticulum
Step-by-step solution
Electron microscopic studies of eukaryotic cells reveal the presence of a network or reticulum of tiny tubular structures scattered in the cytoplasm that is called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) . Hence, ER divides the intracellular space into two distinct compartments, i.e., luminal (inside ER) and extra luminal (cytoplasm) compartments.
