Question

Which one of the following is/are false?

A) Fibroblasts store food in adipose tissue.

B) Nissl's granules are found in the granulocytes.

C) Blood platelets are formed from Macrophages.

D) Serum globulin acts as an antibody.

Select the correct option:

1. A, B and C
2. A, B and D
3. A and D
4. A and B

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : A, B and C

Explanation:

• Fibroblasts are the largest and most common cells of connective tissues in animals. They are maximum in number and their cytoplasm is rich in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
• Their primary function is the synthesis of extracellular matrix and protein fibres like collagen. Fibroblasts do not store food in adipose tissue.
• Nissl's granules also known as nissl's body are large granular structures present in neurons. These are made up of rough endoplasmic reticulum and have a number of ribosomes present on them. Their primary function is the synthesis of proteins.
• Macrophages are the 2^nd largest cells in connective tissues, they are amoeboid in shape with a kidney-shaped nucleus. They are phagocytic in nature. They destroy bacteria and viruses by phagocytosis.
• Blood platelets are formed in the bone marrow by segmentation.
• Serum globulin is a  type of blood protein, it acts as an antibody.
• So the Correct option is 1
