The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given organisms does not have a nucleolus, we need to analyze the characteristics of each organism in relation to their cellular structure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand What a Nucleolus Is**: - The nucleolus is an organelle found within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Its primary function is to produce ribosomes. 2. **Identify the Organisms**: - The organisms mentioned are: - Amoeba - Blue-green algae - Plants - Paramecium 3. **Classify the Organisms**: - **Amoeba**: This is a single-celled organism classified as a eukaryote. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and, therefore, a nucleolus. - **Blue-green algae**: These are prokaryotic organisms (also known as cyanobacteria). Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus or nucleolus. - **Plants**: Plants are multicellular eukaryotes, which means they have a nucleus and a nucleolus. - **Paramecium**: This is also a single-celled eukaryote, which contains a nucleus and a nucleolus. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the organisms listed, blue-green algae are the only ones that do not have a nucleolus because they are prokaryotic and lack a true nucleus. ### Final Answer: The cells of **blue-green algae** do not have a nucleolus.
