The correct Answer is:
To determine which organelle is a single unit membrane organelle from the given options, we will analyze each option based on their membrane structure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Membrane Structures**: - Organelles can be classified based on the number of membranes they have: single membrane or double membrane. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Ribosomes**: These are not membrane-bound organelles. They are complexes of RNA and proteins and do not have any membranes. - **Mitochondria**: These are double membrane organelles. They have an outer and an inner membrane. - **Chloroplasts**: These are also double membrane organelles, similar to mitochondria, with an outer and inner membrane. - **Lysosomes**: These are single membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes. 3. **Identify the Single Unit Membrane Organelle**: - Among the options, lysosomes are the only organelles that are surrounded by a single membrane. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question "A single unit membrane organelle is:" is **lysosomes**. ### Final Answer: **Lysosomes** ---
