| I: | Plant cells possess cell walls which is absent from animal cells. |
| II: | Plant cells possess plastids and a large central vacuole which are absent in animal cells. |
| III: | Plant cells have centrioles which are absent in almost all animal cells |

The arrangement of axonemal microtubules in cilia and flagellum is referred to as 9 + 2 array which essentially means that the axoneme has:
| 1. | nine doublets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules and two doublets of centrally located microtubules enclosed by a central sheath. |
| 2. | nine triplets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules and a pair of centrally located microtubules enclosed by a central sheath. |
| 3. | nine triplets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules and a centrally located protein hub not enclosed by a central sheath. |
| 4. | nine doublets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules and a pair of centrally located microtubules enclosed by a central sheath. |
