MIC 121 MCB 102 BACTERIA Objective Question

Question

Which of the following is NOT a common inclusion body or storage material found in bacteria, as described in the document?
Options
A Glycogen Granules
B Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)
C Volutin (Metachromatic) Granules
D Chloroplasts
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 47 lists Glycogen Granules, Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), Volutin (Metachromatic) Granules, and Sulfur Granules as common examples of inclusion bodies. Chloroplasts are organelles found in eukaryotic plant cells and algae for photosynthesis, not in prokaryotic bacteria.

Hint

Recall that bacteria are prokaryotes and lack membrane-bound organelles like chloroplasts. Check the list of inclusion bodies.
