Q25 / 180 · NEET 2015 (Phase 1) · Botany

Which one of the following is not an inclusion body found in prokaryotes?

  • A
    Phosphate granule
  • B
    Cyanophycean granule
  • C
    Glycogen granule
  • Correct answer
    D
    Polysome

Solution

Inclusion bodies: Reserve material in prokaryotic cells are stored in the cytoplasm in the form of inclusion bodies. These are not bound by any membrane system and lie free in the cytoplasm, e.g., phosphate granules, cyanophycean granules and glycogen granules. Gas vacuoles are found in blue green and purple and green photosynthetic bacteria.

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