Question

1. what is the role of lysosomes in the cell? why is this a vital role? 11. which structures of the cytoskeleton are found in animal cells but not in plant cells? 12. what other structures of the cytoskeleton would show the same pattern of microtubules as a flagellum?

Explanation:

1. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes. They break down waste materials and cellular debris, which is vital for cell - maintenance and recycling of nutrients.
2. Centrioles are structures of the cytoskeleton found in animal cells but not in plant cells (while the answer given 'Cilia' is incorrect as some plant cells can have cilia - like structures in certain stages or in some species). Centrioles are involved in cell division in animal cells.
3. Cilia have the same '9 + 2' pattern of microtubules as flagella. They are both involved in cell movement or moving substances along the cell surface.

Answer:

1. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes to break down waste and debris, vital for cell - maintenance and nutrient recycling.
2. Centrioles
3. Cilia
