Which of these cell organelles found exclusively in eukaryotes is not membrane bound?
Options
- ARibosomes
- BCilia
- CNucleolus
- DLysosome
Correct answer
C. Nucleolus
Step-by-step solution
The nucleolus, ribosomes, and centrioles are non-membrane bound cell organelles. Ribosomes are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The entire endomembranous system (ER, Golgi body, lysosome, vacuole), peroxisomes, cilia, flagella have a single membrane surrounding them. Mitochondria and nucleus are surrounded by two membranes.
