Which structure is found in plant cells but not in animal cells?
A
Lysosome
B
Cell wall
C
Mitochondrion
D
Centriole
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key difference between plant and animal cells by reviewing the unique structures present in each type of cell.
Recall that lysosomes, mitochondria, and centrioles are organelles found in animal cells, with mitochondria also present in plant cells for energy production.
Understand that the cell wall is a rigid outer layer that provides structural support and protection, and it is characteristic of plant cells but absent in animal cells.
Confirm that the cell wall is made primarily of cellulose in plants, which distinguishes plant cells from animal cells that only have a flexible plasma membrane.
Conclude that among the options given, the cell wall is the structure found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
