The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statement is correct among the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - The statement claims that "Nuclear membrane, chloroplasts, mitochondria, microtubules, and pili are absent in prokaryotic cells." - **Evaluation**: - Prokaryotic cells do not have a nuclear membrane, chloroplasts, or mitochondria. - However, pili (or pilus) are indeed present in prokaryotic cells and are important for processes like bacterial conjugation. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect** because it incorrectly states that pili are absent. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - The statement claims that "Nuclear membrane, chloroplasts, mitochondria, microtubules, and pili are present in eukaryotic cells." - **Evaluation**: - Eukaryotic cells do have a nuclear membrane, mitochondria, and microtubules. - However, pili are not present in eukaryotic cells; they are specific to prokaryotic cells. - **Conclusion**: This statement is also **incorrect** because it incorrectly states that pili are present. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - The statement claims that "Ribosomes are 70S in prokaryotic cells, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. They are 80S in animal cells." - **Evaluation**: - Ribosomes in prokaryotic cells, as well as in chloroplasts and mitochondria, are indeed of the 70S type. - In contrast, ribosomes in eukaryotic cells (including animal cells) are of the 80S type. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **C**: "Ribosomes are 70S in prokaryotic cells, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. They are 80S in animal cells." ---
