Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Pigments
Concept: Plastids are categorized based on the specific compounds they synthesize and store.

Solution: Chloroplasts are a specific type of chromoplast (colored plastid) that fundamentally contain photosynthetic pigments—primarily green chlorophyll, along with accessory pigments like carotenoids, essential for capturing solar energy.

Distractor Autopsy:
  • Linear ds-DNA: Chloroplast DNA is circular, not linear.
  • Cristae: Found in mitochondria.
  • Cisternae: Found in ER/Golgi.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
