The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Term "Polymorphic"**: - The term "polymorphic" refers to the ability of an organelle to exist in multiple forms or shapes. 2. **Identifying Polymorphic Organelles**: - Among the options provided (vacuole, lysosome, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum), we need to identify which organelle can exist in more than one shape. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Vacuole**: Generally, vacuoles have a consistent shape and do not exhibit polymorphism. - **Lysosome**: Lysosomes can exist in several forms: - **Primary Lysosomes**: Newly formed, containing inactive enzymes. - **Secondary Lysosomes**: Formed when primary lysosomes fuse with phagosomes and contain active enzymes for digestion. - **Residual Bodies**: Contain undigested material after digestion. - **Autophagic Vacuoles**: Formed during the process of autophagy, where lysosomes engulf parts of the cell. - **Golgi Bodies**: These maintain a consistent structure and do not exhibit polymorphism. - **Endoplasmic Reticulum**: Similar to Golgi bodies, the endoplasmic reticulum maintains a stable structure. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only organelle that exhibits polymorphism is the **lysosome**. Therefore, the correct answer is **lysosome**. ### Final Answer The polymorphic cell organelle is **lysosome**.
