What type of cell structure is found only in bacteria and some protists?

  1. Vacuole

  2. Lysosome

  3. Golgi apparatus

  4. Flagellum

The correct answer is: Flagellum

A vacuole is found in a variety of cells and has different functions, such as storage and maintaining turgidity in plant cells. A lysosome is a type of organelle found in animal cells and is responsible for breaking down waste materials. The Golgi apparatus is found in eukaryotic cells and is responsible for sorting, modifying, and packaging molecules for transport. A flagellum is a whip-like structure used for movement and is only found in bacteria and some protists. Therefore, the correct answer is D and the other options are incorrect as they are found in a wider range of cells.
