Read the following statements carefully: A. F ₁ particles are present on the outer membrane of mitochondria. B. Histones are rich in acidic amino acids and help in the packaging of DNA. C. The core of eukaryotic cilia and flagella, called the axoneme, possesses a 9+2 arrangement of microtubules. D. Cisternae are flat, disc-shaped sacs of 0.5 m to 1.0 m diameter found in the Golgi apparatus. How many of the given stat
Options
- ATwo
- BThree
- CFour
- DOne
Correct answer
A. Two
Step-by-step solution
Statement A is incorrect because F ₁ particles are located on the inner membrane of mitochondria, not the outer membrane. Statement B is incorrect because histones are basic proteins, rich in the basic amino acid residues lysine and arginine. Statement C is correct. The core of eukaryotic cilia and flagella is the axoneme, which typically has nine pairs of peripheral microtubules and a pair of central microtubules (9+2 arrangement). Statement D is correct. The Golgi apparatus consists of flat, disc-shaped sacs or c
