What the hell...... about lysosome.

I found one contrary fact from destoryer biology and Cliff AP biology.
First, on destroyer #192. It says answers are all correct, but if you look at the #2 'Lysosome are found in both plant and animal cells'

But if you look at the page 38 in Cliff AP biology, there says the presence of lysosomes, centrioles, and cholesterol in animal cells and their absence in plants.

WHICH IS TRUE?????????????

Also, it is a bit debating on #218. Cell wall is also present in both euka and proka cells, not just ribosome.
What do you guys think about that?

Take a look at this for the lysosome question. It is a highly debated topic and the evidence seems to be that they do in fact have lysosomes.

I am pretty sure that plant cells don't have lysosomes,centrioles,flagella( campbell bio page 115, 6th edition)..

And about question 218, it says which ORGANELLE; cell wall is not an organelle

 

[niktacal82]

Then maybe the new version of campbell would say what mistero said...I dunno...I have the old version(6th)

Wow, what a bummer...so let us hope that it doesn't come up on the test.
I know that the central vacuole may act as the location of lysosomal actions. All the digestive stuff may happen there for plants.
Hm....

Plants can have lysosomes.
@ niktacal82. The cell wall is indeed an organelle.

Cliff AP tends to get its stuff from Campbell. Wiki also mentioned nothing about plant for lysosome. Since testmaker don't have new info automatically, I'm go with the old answer "only animal have lysosome"

I know what you mean; but then we would say a cell z indeed an organelle according to you. but we usually use organelles for SUBcellular structure-->wiki: an organelle (pronunciation: /ɔː(r)gəˡnɛl/) is a specialized SUBUNIT WITHIN a CELL that has a specific function, and is separately enclosed within its own lipid membrane. NO? cuz that's what I assumed for question 192.(otherwise #192 is wrong)

Never mind...

Wiki is not always right.

Nothing is "always" right but wiki is a pretty darn good source for information and is constantly being updated when needed.

True but I'm just going with what I've been taught over the years. I did research on plants for undergraduate and I have heard the cell wall be called an organelle from numerous sources and that plants can have lysosomes. I trust the research community more than wikipedia.

I don't think the DAT will ask you about any of this though.

You would be the expert then. Yeah I totally agree with you, I highly doubt this would show up. It seems like this question has come up before on here too...
