SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 48

SSC CGL - 24 July 2023 - Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q48

Select the correct statement.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Ribosomes, mitochondria and lysosomes are found in animal cells.

Animal cells, as eukaryotic cells, contain membrane-bound organelles including mitochondria for energy production and lysosomes for cellular waste breakdown, along with ribosomes for protein synthesis.

In contrast, bacteria (prokaryotes) lack mitochondria and a true nucleus, while fungal cells, though eukaryotic, do not contain chloroplasts as they are non-photosynthetic.

Plant cells possess both mitochondria and a nucleus, contrary to the incorrect option suggesting their absence.

Thus, only the second statement accurately describes the organelles present in animal cells.
