Which of the following statements about inclusion bodies in incorrect?

Options

  1. AThese are involved in ingestion of food particles
  2. BThey lie free in the cytoplasm
  3. CThese represent reserve material in cytoplasm
  4. DThey are not bound by any membrane

Correct answer

A. These are involved in ingestion of food particles

Step-by-step solution

Inclusion bodies: Reserve material in prokaryotic cells are stored in the cytoplasm in the form of inclusion bodies. These are not bounded by any membrane system and lie free in the cytoplasm, e.g., phosphate granules, cyanophycean granules, and glycogen granules. Some other inclusion bodies may be surrounded by a single layer non-unit membrane, which is 2-4 nm thick. e.g.-poly- β -hydroxybutyrate granules, sulphur granules, and gas vacuole. Gas vacuoles are found in blue-green algae, purple and green photosyn
