Question

Cisternae have a diameter of

• A. $0.5\,\mu m$ to $1.0\,\mu m$
• B. $1.0\,\mu m$ to $1.5\,\mu m$
• C. $1.5\,\mu m$ to $2.0\,\mu m$
• D. $2.0\,\mu m$ to $2.5\,\mu m$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Golgi bodies or apparatus of plant and animal cell are structurally similar organelles, which is dise-shaped and consists of central flattened plate like compartment or cisternae, peripheral interconnecting tubules, and vesicles. There are about $4-8$ cisternae in a stack and are about $ 1\,\mu\,m$ in diameter. Hence option $0.5\,\mu m$ to $1.0\,\mu m$ is correct answer.
