Question

Assertion (A): Scattered Golgi body in animal cells are called as ‘dictyosomes’.

Reason (R): Plant cells have dictyosomes because the entire central space is occupied by a large vacuole.

Options

• A is True and R is False.

• A is False and R is True.

• Both A and R are True.

• Both A and R are False.

Answer 1

Both A and R are False

Explanation:

A is false. The golgi apparatus in animal cells is organised into a compact or loose complex, rather than being scattered. Dictyosomes are dispersed units of the Golgi apparatus in plant cells, not animals. R is partially true. Plant cells have dictyosomes; however, their distribution is not primarily attributed to the central vacuole. It’s also relevant to cell structure and function.
