Question

Animal cell differs from plant cells in possessing

A) Plastid
B) Golgi body
C) Vacuole
D) Centrosome​

Answer 1

Answer:

animal cell differs from plant cells in possessing vacuole.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D) Centrosome

Animal cell differs from plant cells in possessing​ a "centrosome".

Explanation:

• The eukaryotic cell is characterized by the presence of a true nucleus with a nuclear envelope, typical chromosome and mitotic apparatus. The eukaryotic cells occur in all eukaryotes such as plants, animals, fungi and protists.

• Plastid is a pivotal, double membrane-bound cytoplasmic organelle, found in all plant cells. They are involved in specialized functions in plant cells, including photosynthesis and the production and storage of metabolites.

• Animal cells lack plastids.

Hence, option A) is incorrect.

• Golgi body/ Golgi complex/ Golgi apparatus refers to a complex network of smooth membrane-enclosed cell organelle which performs the function of collection, packaging, distribution and secretion of biomolecules. All eukaryotic cells possess Golgi bodies.

• It is common in both plant and animal cells. Thus, option B) is incorrect.

• The vacuole is a lifeless, non-cytoplasmic sac separated from the cytoplasm by the tonoplast.
• They maintain osmotic relations and help in the absorption of water.
• These are found in plant cells but are absent in animal cells.

Thus, option C) is also incorrect.

• The centrosome is present in the cytoplasm of all animal cells. It is made up of two centrioles.
• Centrosome helps to organize microtubules and pull chromatids apart during cell division.

• Plant cells lack centrosomes. Thus, option D) is correct.

Therefore, it is the centrosome which differentiates animal cells from plant cells.
