Centrioles occur in the centrosomes of animal cells.
Here's a breakdown:
- Centrosome: The main microtubule organizing center in animal cells and regulates cell-cycle processes.
- Centrioles: The centrosome is made up of two centrioles that are perpendicular to each other. They're composed of a protein called tubulin.
| Component | Location | Composition | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Centriole | Within the Centrosome | Tubulin | Forms part of the centrosome, involved in microtubule organization. |
| Centrosome | Animal Cells | Two Centrioles | Microtubule organizing center, regulates cell cycle. |
