1. Ans. (d). Mitochondria.
yc
Mitochondria is a large cell organelle, Most probably the second largest cell
organelle in the cells after nucleus in animal cells, and in plants probably the
third largest cell after vacuole and nucleus. The average size of mitochondria
og
is about 1 to 4 µ and this size is best enough the resolve through light
microscope. (The maximum limit of resolution of light microscope is ~ 0.2µ)
