Choose the ODD one out from the following terms given and name the CATEGORY to which the others belong:
Centrosome, Cell wall, Cell membrane, Large vacuoles
Topic: Parts of a plant cell
Answer
Odd one out: CENTROSOME. Category of the others: PARTS OF A PLANT CELL.
The cell wall, cell membrane and a large central vacuole are all features of a PLANT cell. The CENTROSOME is found only in ANIMAL cells — higher plants have no centrioles at all.
That is also why a plant cell forms NO ASTER during division, though it still builds a spindle — the point tested in the 2021 paper.
THE FEATURES UNIQUE TO EACH, worth holding as a pair: PLANT ONLY — cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole ANIMAL ONLY — centrioles (centrosome) The cell MEMBRANE is common to both, which is why it is offered here alongside genuinely plant-specific features — the category still holds, since a plant cell certainly has one.
