Question

Cytosomes are found in
A) Chloroplasts
B) Bacteria
C) Mitochondria
D) All of the above

Answer 1

Cystosome is also called cytoplasm which is the thick solution found enclosed by the cell membrane in the cell. In eukaryotes, all cellular materials are present in the cytoplasm outside the nucleus.

Complete answer:
Cytoplasm contains the cytosol which is the jelly like substance, the organelles and other cytoplasmic inclusions. The cytoplasm is formed of 80% water content and is usually found to be colourless. Let us analyze the options to find out the correct option.

Option A: Chloroplasts are organelles that are found in plant cells and not in animal cells. They help in photosynthesis. They have the presence of a breen color pigment called chlorophyll which helps in capturing the sunlight for the process of photosynthesis to happen. So it is a correct option.

Option B: The cytoplasm present in the bacteria is also called protoplasm. The cytoplasm found in bacterial cells helps in growth, metabolism and replication. It also consists of nutrients, waste material, water, enzymes and other cellular structures.So it is a correct option.

Option C: Mitochondria is called the powerhouse of the cell as it generates energy in the form of ATP for the cell to function and carry out its regular tasks. It is a double membrane bound structure which has its own DNA and cytoplasm.So it is a correct option.

Option D: Since all the above mentioned options are correct, this is the correct option.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D) All of the above.

Note: Most of the cellular processes like glycolysis and cell division involve cytoplasm of the cell. Movement of calcium ions across the cytoplasm regulates the metabolic pathways of the body.
