Which organelle should be listed under “animal only” in the diagram?

I am unable to see the specific diagram you are referring to. However, I can provide information on organelles typically found in animal cells but not in plant cells.

One organelle that is commonly listed under "animal only" is the Lysosome. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing enzymes responsible for digesting waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign substances. They are involved in intracellular digestion and recycling of cellular components.

Plant cells usually lack lysosomes, and their roles are carried out by other structures like the central vacuole and peroxisomes. Therefore, if the diagram categorizes organelles into "animal only" and "plant only," lysosomes would fall under the "animal only" category.

I hope this helped!
