Which of the Following is an Example of a Membranous

Question

Which of the following is an example of a membranous organelle?
A) lysosome
B) cilia
C) centriole
D) ribosome
E) cytoskeleton

Accepted Answer

Lysosome is an example of a membranous organelle because it is surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane. Cilia, centriole, ribosome, and cytoskeleton are not membranous organelles because they do not have a lipid bilayer membrane surrounding them. Cilia and centriole are made up of microtubules, ribosome is a non-membranous organelle that synthesizes proteins, and cytoskeleton is a network of protein fibers that gives shape and support to the cell.
