Which of the following are not found in plant cells?
Options
A Mitochondria
B Glyoxisomes
C Centrosomes
Correct Answer
D Golgi apparatus
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Centrosomes (which contain centrioles) are typically not found in higher plant cells. Plants do have Microtubule Organizing Centers (MTOCs), but they lack the classic centrosome structure with centrioles. Mitochondria, glyoxisomes (a type of peroxisome in germinating seeds), and Golgi apparatus are all present in plant cells.

Hint

Which organelle, involved in animal cell division, is usually missing in higher plant cells?
