ALysosomes, centrioles, cytosol
BRibosomes, nucleus, cytoplasm
CGolgi, vesicles, peroxisomes
DCell wall, chloroplasts, vacuole
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Cell wall, chloroplasts, vacuole
1. A plant cell is bounded outside the plasma membrane by a rigid cell wall.
2. It also carries chloroplasts and other specialized plastids.
3. It carries a large central vacuole that occupies most of the area of the cell.
4. Lysosomes and centrioles run the other way, being animal features, so that set is inverted.
