A non-membrane bound organelle found exclusively in animal cells is:

1. Sphaerosome

2. Glyoxisome

3. Peroxisome

4. Centriole

 

Q3:

Centrioles are not membrane bound and are involved in spindle formation. They are usually associated with animal cells and are absent in angiosperms and most fungi. The most appropriate answer is, therefore, centriole.
