Which among the following is not present in animal cell? |
Centriole/ centrosome 80S ribosome Plasmodesmata None of these . |
Plasmodesmata |
The correct answer is Option (3) -Plasmodesmata Cell wall and chloroplast are not present in the animal cell. The cell wall in a plant cell is a very tough, flexible and sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It surrounds the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and protection. In addition, the cell wall is acting as a filtering mechanism. Chloroplasts are exclusively found in plants and photosynthetic unicellular organisms and, hence, animal cells lack chloroplast. Plasmodesma is a singular form of plasmodesmata. The plasmodesmata definition states that it is a microscopic cytoplasmic canal, which can pass through the plant cell walls and allows the molecules to directly communicate with the adjacent plant cells. Animal cells lack Plasmodesmata. These channels are found in plants and algae. |
