Pick the correct one with reference to plant cell:
Correct answer: B. Centrioles are absent in higher plant cells.
- A. Centrioles are present in plant cells.
- B. Centrioles are absent in higher plant cells.
- C. Peroxisomes are absent in plant cells.
- D. Mitochondria are absent in plant cells.
Explanation
The correct answer is that centrioles are absent in higher plant cells. Centrioles are primarily found in animal cells and play a role in cell division. In plant cells, the absence of centrioles is compensated by other structures during cell division. Option A is incorrect because centrioles are not present in higher plant cells. Option C is incorrect as peroxisomes are indeed present in plant cells and are involved in important metabolic processes. Option D is incorrect because mitochondria are essential organelles found in both plant and animal cells, responsible for energy production.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
