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).
