The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a cell organelle that has a definite polarity. Polarity in cell biology refers to the structural and functional differences between two ends of an organelle. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options given are: - Ribosome - Mitochondria - Golgi apparatus - Chloroplast 3. **Identifying the Characteristics of Each Organelle**: - **Ribosome**: Ribosomes are not organelles with polarity; they are the sites of protein synthesis and do not have distinct structural ends. - **Mitochondria**: Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell and have a double membrane structure, but they do not exhibit clear polarity. - **Chloroplast**: Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis and are found only in plant cells. They also do not have a definitive polarity. - **Golgi Apparatus**: The Golgi apparatus consists of a series of flattened, membrane-bound sacs called cisternae. It has a clear polarity, with a cis face (receiving side) and a trans face (shipping side). 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the Golgi apparatus is the only organelle among the options that exhibits definite polarity due to its structure and functional organization. 5. **Final Answer**: The cell organelle with a definite polarity is the **Golgi apparatus**. ---
