Select the organelle which is only present in animal cells:
Correct answer: A. Centrioles
- A. Centrioles
- B. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
- C. Microtubules
- D. Ribosomes
Explanation
Centrioles are the correct answer as they are organelles specific to animal cells and are crucial for organizing microtubules during cell division. Higher plant cells do not have centrioles and rely on different structures for cell division. In contrast, the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER), microtubules, and ribosomes are present in both plant and animal cells, serving functions that are necessary in both types of eukaryotic cells.

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.
