Q20 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 2) · Botany

Inclusion bodies of blue-green, purple and green photosynthetic bacteria are:

  • A
    Contractile vacuoles
  • Correct answer
    B
    Gas vacuoles
  • C
    Centrioles
  • D
    Microtubules

Solution

Reserve materials in prokaryotic cells are stored in the cytoplasm of the cell in the form of inclusion bodies. Gas vacuoles or gas vesicles are found in blue-green algae, purple and green photosynthetic bacteria. These vacuoles are nanocompartments surrounded by a protein membrane and help in buoyancy.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
