Which of the following structures is found in animal cells but not in plant cells?
A
Mitochondria
B
Plasma membrane
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
E
Centrioles
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic differences between animal and plant cells. Both types of cells share many organelles, but there are some key differences.
Recognize that mitochondria, plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, and rough endoplasmic reticulum are organelles found in both animal and plant cells.
Identify centrioles as a structure that is typically found in animal cells but not in most plant cells. Centrioles play a role in cell division by helping to organize the mitotic spindle.
Recall that plant cells usually do not have centrioles because they have other structures, like the cell wall and large central vacuole, that assist in maintaining cell structure and division.
Conclude that centrioles are the correct answer as they are present in animal cells and generally absent in plant cells.
