What is not a part of protoplasm?
Correct answer: A. Capsule of bacteria
- A. Capsule of bacteria
- B. Nucleus
- C. Cell membrane
- D. Mitochondria
Explanation
The correct answer is the capsule of bacteria because it is an external structure, unlike the protoplasm, which refers to the internal contents of a cell. The protoplasm of bacteria includes components like cytoplasm and nucleoid, but not external structures such as the capsule. The other options are incorrect because they either describe internal structures (like the nucleoid for a nucleus) or features not found in bacteria (such as mitochondria), which are irrelevant in this context.
