Question

An example of an organelle within an organelle is:

• A. Ribosome
• B. Lysosome
• C. Endoplasmic Reticulum
• D. Golgi complex

Hint:

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are often called 'semi-autonomous' organelles because they have their own DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to produce some of their own proteins.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own ribosomes (70S type), which are essential for synthesizing proteins within these organelles. Since ribosomes are themselves complex structures (often considered non-membranous organelles) and are found inside other organelles, the ribosome is the correct answer. The other options are distinct, membrane-bound organelles within the cytoplasm.
