    Question

    A few organelles that are present in a eukaryotic cell are mentioned below:

    A. Centrosomes

    B. Peroxisomes

    C. Nucleolus

    D. Endosome

    Which one of the following options represents organelles that are not membrane-bound?

    A.

    A and B

    B.

    B and C

    C.

    A and C

    D.

    A and D

    Correct option is C

    Explanation-

    Centrosomes are not membrane-bound. It is composed of two centrioles and surrounding pericentriolar material. It involved in microtubule organization, especially during mitosis.
    Nucleolus is not membrane-bound. It is located inside the nucleus. It is the site for rRNA synthesis and ribosome subunit assembly. It is a dense, phase-separated region, not enclosed by a membrane.
    These are the two organelles that are not membrane-bound.

    So, the correct answer is option c - A and C

    Incorrect options- 

    Peroxisomes are membrane-bound. It is enclosed by a single membrane. It involved in lipid metabolism and breakdown of hydrogen peroxide.
    Endosomes are also membrane-bound. It plays crucial role  in sorting and transporting internalized materials (from endocytosis).
