The correct answer is option a, that is, Vitamin K.

Vitamin K is primarily produced by the bacteria in the large intestine. The dietary sources include the green photosynthetic parts of the plants. The vitamin plays an essential role in the development of many blood-clotting factors in the liver, and their deficit can result in bleeding disorders.

There are two sources of vitamin K; this includes phylloquinone or vitamin K1, which is mainly found in green leafy vegetables and menaquinone or vitamin K2 that is produced by some kinds of intestinal bacteria.

Are microfilaments and lybosomes in both plant and animal cells?

jeyben [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The animal cell and plant cell are both eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are the type of cells that contains membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus and a cytoskeleton.

The cytoskeleton, which is composed of microfilaments, internal filaments, and microtubules, is present in both the animal and plant cells.

However, some of the organelles that are not present in both the animal cell and the plant cell are centrosome and lysosomes.

The lysosome is present only in the animal cell.
