True or False:A cell organelle that is found in animal cells but usually not in plant cells is a vacuole.
A
True
B
False
C
cell organelle that is found in animal cells but usually not in plant cells is a vacuole.
D
cell organelle that is found in animal cells but usually not in plant cells is a lysosome.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because animals get sugar from the food they eat, they do not need chloroplasts: just mitochondria. Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles. A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animal cells have centrioles, centrosomes (discussed under the cytoskeleton), and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, plasmodesmata, and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that can be found in both animals and plants. In a way, they’re specialized lysosomes. That is to say that their function is really to handle waste products, and by handle, mean take in waste products and also get rid of waste products.

Detailed explanation-4: -Centrioles-Centrioles are self-replicating organelles made up of nine bundles of microtubules and are found only in animal cells.
