Question Detail
Question
Which of the following are not found in plant cells? A. Mitochondria B. Glyoxisomes C. Centrosomes D. Golgi apparatus
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Centrosomes, which contain a pair of centrioles, are the main microtubule-organizing centers in animal cells. Plant cells lack centrioles and have a different, less conspicuous region that organizes microtubules, so they are generally not considered to have a centrosome. Mitochondria, glyoxisomes (a type of peroxisome in plants), and Golgi apparatus are all found in plant cells.
Hint
This structure, containing centrioles, is key for animal cell division but missing in plants.
