Q22 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 2) · Botany

The size of Pleuropneumonia-like Organism (PPLO) is:

  • A
    0.02μm
  • B
    1-2μm
  • C
    10-20μm
  • Correct answer
    D
    0.1μm

Solution

The prokaryotic cells are represented by bacteria, blue-green algae, mycoplasma and PPLO (Pleuro Pneumonia Like Organisms). They are generally smaller and multiply more rapidly than the eukaryotic cells. Size of PPLO is about \(0.1 \mu \mathrm{m}\).
