Golgi apparatus acts as a dispatch station of protein products received from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles. They are also called suicide bags because in case of disturbance of their cellular metabolism they digest their own cell by releasing own enzymes. Though lysosomes are not commonly-found in plant cells, but some plant cells do contain lysosomes.

Calcium Carbide is the most commonly used chemical for ripening of mangoes in India. It reacts with the moisture emanated by the respiration of the fruit. It liberates a gas called acetylene which helps in ripening the fruit.

Caesium is the least electronegative element in the periodic table and Fluorine is the most electronegative. Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

Lamination in a transformer construction reduces eddy current losses. Lamination provides with the efficient transfer of energy from the primary coil to the secondary one.

Second statement is incorrect because the optical power of plane mirror is zero.

A high-refractive-index polymer is a polymer that has a refractive index greater than 1.50. Such materials are required for anti-reflective coating and photonic devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) and image sensors.

The spleen plays multiple supporting roles in the body. It acts as a filter for blood as part of the immune system. The spleen is not part of the digestive system however is connected to the blood vessels of both the stomach and the pancreas.

Hemoglobin in humans has a very high affinity for carbon monoxide, forming carboxyhemoglobin which is a very bright red in color. Carbon monoxide is thus problematic for humans because it has affinity higher than that of oxygen.

LWhite blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All white blood cells are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as hematopoietic stem cells.

Animal cells do not have cell walls. Cell walls are found in plant cells. Other given organelles like Mitochondria, Ribosome and Cytoplasm are present in animal cells.
