In the context of eukaryotic cell architecture, which organelle is found in plant cells but not in animal cells?
A
Golgi apparatus
B
Chloroplast
C
Lysosome
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the question is asking to identify an organelle present in plant cells but absent in animal cells within eukaryotic cells.
Step 2: Recall the common organelles found in both plant and animal cells, such as the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and mitochondria, which are shared by both cell types.
Step 3: Identify organelles unique to plant cells. Chloroplasts are specialized organelles responsible for photosynthesis and are found only in plant cells and some protists, not in animal cells.
Step 4: Confirm that chloroplasts contain their own DNA and have a double membrane, which supports their unique function in converting light energy into chemical energy.
Step 5: Conclude that among the options given, the chloroplast is the organelle found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
