A)nuclei
B)organelles
C)plasma membranes
D)vesicles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "organelles" refers specifically to the membrane-bound structures found within eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, and the endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A (nuclei) refers specifically to the membrane-bound organelle that contains the genetic material of the cell, which is only one of many kinds of organelles found within eukaryotic cells. Option C (plasma membranes) refers to the outermost membrane of the cell, which is not an internal organelle. Option D (vesicles) are membrane-bound structures that transport materials within and between cells, but are not exclusive to the interior of eukaryotic cells.
