Based on the "Animal Cells" and "Unicellular Fungi" sections of the provided image, which of the following structures is present in the yeast cell but typically absent in the generalized animal cell shown?

  • A: Nucleus
  • B: Mitochondrion
  • C: Cell wall
  • D: Plasma membrane

Explanation

The diagrams clearly show that the yeast cell has a 'Cell wall' label, which is absent in the generalized animal cell diagram. Animal cells typically lack a cell wall, while fungal cells like yeast possess one.
