Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What can be found in the Animal cell that can not be found in the Plant cell?
A
Chloroplast
B
lysosomes
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Centrioles and lysosomes are found only in animal cells and not in plant cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animal cells have centrosomes (or a pair of centrioles), 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: -Lysosomes are not needed in plant cells because they have cell walls that are tough enough to keep the large/foreign substances that lysosomes would usually digest out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Centrioles-Centrioles are self-replicating organelles made up of nine bundles of microtubules and are found only in animal cells. They appear to help in organizing cell division, but aren’t essential to the process.

Detailed explanation-5: -Three differences between a plant cell and an animal cell are: Animal cell lack cell wall, unlike a plant cell which has a cellulosic cell wall. Animal cell lack chloroplast, whereas plant cell has chloroplast. Animal cell has centrioles, centrosome, and lysosome but plant cell lack them.
