Question

Golgi apparatus is absent in

(a) higher plants

(b) yeast

(c) bacteria and blue-green algae

(d) of the above

Answer 1

Correct option (c) bacteria and blue-green algae

Explanation:

Golgi bodies are absent in prokaryotic cells, (i.e. bacteria, cyanobacteria, mycoplasma), in mature RBC, mature sperms, mature eggs, sperms of bryophytes, pteridophytes and mature sieve tubes. In contrast, active eukaryotic cells are rich in Golgi bodies. Maximum number (25000) of Golgi bodies are found in rhizoidal cells of Chara.
