Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Centrioles and lysosomes are found only in animal cells and not in plant cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Lysosomes are found in all animal cells, but are rarely found within plant cells due to the tough cell wall surrounding a plant cell that keeps out foreign substances.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes (lysosome: from the Greek: lysis; loosen and soma; body) are found in nearly all animal and plant cells. In plant cells vacuoles can carry out lysosomal functions. Lysosomes appear initially as spherical bodies about 50-70nm in diameter and are bounded by a single membrane.
Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells do not contain lysosomes. Lysosomes are present in the cells of animals, and they are responsible for breaking down waste and other cell debris. According to research from Princeton University, in animals, lysosomes assist the body with digesting nutrients from food.
