Which of the Following Statements is TRUE

Question

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) Eukaryotic flagella rotate in the same manner as prokaryotic flagella.
B) Lysosomes synthesize proteins and carbohydrates.
C) Cilia generally move with a slow, whiplike motion.
D) The major function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is lipid synthesis.

Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic flagella do not rotate in the same manner as prokaryotic flagella. Prokaryotic flagella rotate like propellers, while eukaryotic flagella move in a whip-like motion. However, both types of flagella are used for locomotion.

Answer: None of the other statements are true.

B) Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and are not involved in protein or carbohydrate synthesis.

C) Cilia move with a rapid back-and-forth motion, not a slow whiplike one.

D) The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis, not lipid synthesis.
