Question:
These cells of hypodermis are believed to secrete wax in cockroach
These cells of hypodermis are believed to secrete wax in cockroach
Show Hint
Oenocytes = wax secretion. Mycetocytes = symbionts; Adipocytes = fat; Chondrocytes = cartilage. Always match insect cells to their function.
Updated On: Oct 27, 2025
- Mycetocytes
- Oenocytes
- Adipocytes
- Chondrocytes
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Oenocytes are specialized epidermal cells in insects that secrete wax, which is used for cuticle waterproofing. Mycetocytes store symbiotic microorganisms, adipocytes store fat, and chondrocytes are cartilage cells in vertebrates.
