NEETBotanyCell - The Unit of Life
Which of the following pairs of a cellular structure and its corresponding cell part or organelle is incorrectly matched?
Options
- AThylakoid - Plastid
- BTonoplast - Vacuole
- CKinetochore - Chromosome
- DCristae - Golgi apparatus
Correct answer
D. Cristae - Golgi apparatus
Step-by-step solution
Thylakoids are flattened membranous sacs present in the stroma of plastids (chloroplasts). The tonoplast is the single membrane that bounds the central vacuole in plant cells. Kinetochores are disc-shaped structures present on the sides of the centromere in chromosomes. Cristae are the infoldings of the inner membrane of mitochondria. The Golgi apparatus, on the other hand, consists of flat, disc-shaped sacs called cisternae. Therefore, the pair 'Cristae - Golgi apparatus' is incorrectly matched. Answer: Cristae -
