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

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The skeletal system, composed of bones and cartilage, provides structural support for the body, protects vital internal organs (like the brain and heart), and serves as a site for muscle attachment.

Question #3
Which of the following organelles is surrounded by a single membrane?
A. Mitochondria
B. Lysosome
C. Chloroplast
D. Nucleus

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Lysosomes are single-membrane-bound organelles containing hydrolytic enzymes. Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and the nucleus are double-membrane-bound. Peroxisomes, vacuoles, and the endoplasmic reticulum are also single-membrane structures. The single membrane of lysosomes helps maintain an acidic pH (5.0) for enzyme activity and protects the cell from autolysis.
