The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Oxysomes or F - F particles are present on the inner mitochondrial membrane. The F headpiece of oxysome functions as ATP-synthetase which synthesises ATP from ADP and ip (inorganic phosphate) using energy from proton gradient or ATP synthetase becomes active in ATP formation only when there is a proton gradient having high concentration of protons on F side (base) as compared to F side (head piece) of F - F particles or oxysomes.

Eurkaryotic Cells - Golgi Apparatus

The Golgi apparatus is also known as the Golgi complex or the Golgi body. The term is derived from Camillo Golgi, the scientist who discovered the organelle. It can be found in all eukaryotic cells, including plants and animals. They are membrane-bound organelles found in the cell's cytoplasm.

Formation of acrosome: The acrosome is a component of the tip of animal sperms that aids in the digestion of the egg or ovum covering sheath during fertilisation. The Golgi complex produces it with the help of its vesicles.
