The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the given statements regarding cellular structures and functions, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A: In prokaryotic cells, a special membranous structure formed by the extension of the plasma membrane into the cell is known as polysome.** - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. In prokaryotic cells, the structure formed by the extension of the plasma membrane is called **mesosomes**, not polysomes. Polysomes refer to aggregates of ribosomes that are involved in protein synthesis. - **Conclusion**: **Statement A is false.** 2. **Statement B: The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the major site for synthesis of glycoproteins.** - **Analysis**: This statement is also incorrect. The **rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)** is primarily responsible for the synthesis of glycoproteins, as it is studded with ribosomes. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is mainly involved in lipid synthesis and metabolism. - **Conclusion**: **Statement B is false.** 3. **Statement C: RuBisCo is the most abundant protein in the whole of the biosphere.** - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. **RuBisCo** (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is indeed the most abundant protein on Earth, as it plays a crucial role in the process of photosynthesis by fixing carbon dioxide in the Calvin cycle. - **Conclusion**: **Statement C is true.** 4. **Statement D: Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and peroxisomes are not considered as part of the endomembrane system.** - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The endomembrane system includes organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes, but does not include mitochondria, chloroplasts, or peroxisomes. - **Conclusion**: **Statement D is true.** ### Final Evaluation: - **True Statements**: C and D - **False Statements**: A and B ### Final Answer: Of the above statements, **C and D are correct**. ---
