This is an image of a plant cell showing the organelles present. if we were to compare this cell to an animal cell, we would see something a bit different. animal cells contain an organelle that form three important cellular structures: the centrosome, cilia, and flagella. what is this important organelle?

The important organelle is the centriole. The centriole helps form the centrosome, cilia, and flagella.

The right answer is centrioles.

Some animal cells may have many centrioles, as in the case of ephiectal ciliated cells (especially in the pulmonary system) which have a pair of centrioles for each eyelash. In the animal cell, two centrioles are arranged perpendicularly, do not touch each other, and the whole, with the pericentriolar material, forms the centrosome which is always close to the nucleus and intervenes in cell division. On the other hand, in some cell types, the centriole migrates to the plasma membrane to start the formation of an eyelash or a flagellum. At the base of the eyelash or flagellum, the centriole is called the basal body.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
