Which organelle is commonly found in animal cells but is typically absent in plant cells?
A
Cell wall
B
Centrioles (within the centrosome)
C
Chloroplasts
D
Central vacuole
Verified step by step guidance1
Review the list of organelles provided: Cell wall, Centrioles (within the centrosome), Chloroplasts, and Central vacuole.
Recall that plant cells typically have a rigid cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a large central vacuole for storage and maintaining turgor pressure.
Understand that animal cells lack a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole, but they do have centrioles, which are involved in cell division.
Identify that centrioles are commonly found in animal cells but are generally absent in plant cells.
Conclude that the organelle commonly found in animal cells but typically absent in plant cells is the centrioles (within the centrosome).
