What paired organelle involved with cell division is found in animal but not plant cells?

The centrosomes, containing the centrioles, are the source and the organizer of the mitotic spindle in animal cells, but plant cells seem to do just fine during mitosis without such organelles.


Which organelle is found in both animal and plant cells?

The organelles common to plant and animal cells are Plasma membrane, Cytoplasm, Mitochondria, Nucleus, Golgi bodies, Endoplasmic reticulum, Ribosomes, & Vacuoles. Lysosomes are not that common in plants, rarely present in plants but are present in animals. Chlooplastids and Cell wall are present in plant cells,not in animal cells. Centrosomes are present in animal cells only, not in plant cells.


What is one organelle found in an animal cell but not plant cells?

the organelle found in an animal cell but not in plant cells is the centriols because centriols are involved in movement and olants dont move


Is nucleolus found in plant and animal cells?

The nucleus is found in both plant and animal cells because this is where the DNA of the organism is and where the instructions for certain processes in the organisms come from.


. Why do plant cells need these two organelles while animal cells do not?

Well, plant cells need something firm to hold themselves so they have the cell wall . It is a supporting structure and protects the cell from any injury. It is not a living organelle but made up of cellulose. Animal cells have the skeletal system to protect themselves. Animal cells do not have plastids because they get energy from food. Plants, however use chloroplast, a kind of plastid with the green pigment chlorophyll to make their food using sunlight. Moreover , plastids like chromoplast and Leucoplast provide color to the plant , hence attracting insects.
