Option 1 states that Neuroglial cells do not possess Nissl's granules and lack RER and Ribosomes. Neuroglial cells are a type of supportive cells in the nervous system that provide structural and functional support to neurons. Unlike neurons, they do not exhibit Nissl's granules, which are clusters of RER and ribosomes involved in protein synthesis. Neuroglial cells have different functions, such as insulation, nourishment and immune defense in the nervous system. Therefore, option 1 correctly identifies that neuroglial cells do not possess Nissl's granules and lack RER and ribosomes.
