Which organelles are found only in animal cells?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about organelles that are unique to animal cells, implying a comparison with plant cells. We will need to identify specific organelles that are present in animal cells but not in plant cells.
Answer
Centrioles (and centrosomes)
The final answer is centrioles (and centrosomes).
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is centrioles (and centrosomes).
More Information
Centrioles are involved in the formation of spindle fibers during cell division. Centrosomes organize microtubules and provide structure to the cell.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse centrioles with lysosomes, which are also primarily found in animal cells but can have functional analogs in plants.
