Question

Which of the following organelles is found only in animal cells and NOT in most plant cells?

a) chloroplast b) mitochondrion c) lysosome d) peroxisome

Answer 1

C. Lysosome

Step-by-step explanation:

Lysosmes are not commonly found in plants. They are mostly found in animal-like eukaryotes. Lysosomes have digestive enzymes that breakdown molecules like proteins, carbohydrates and the like. They also breakdown worn out organelles. When broken down, they exit the lysosomes in vesicles so that the cell can expel it. This is why lysosomes are called the garbbage disposal of the cell.
