Plant and Animal Cells

Animal cells can be distinguished from plant cells easily because of which of the following?

• Animal cells have mitochondria and plant cells do not.

• Plant cells have lysosomes and animal cells do not.

• Only plant cells have centrioles around their nucleus.

• Only plant cells have large central vacuoles and cell walls.
