With reference to differences between plant cells and animal cells, consider the following statements: I. The presence of plasmodesmata in plant cells enables direct cytoplasmic continuity between adjacent cells, a feature absent in animal cells. II. In animal cells, lysosomes are generally more prominent due to the absence of a large central vacuole performing similar degradative functions. III. Both plant and animal cells possess mitochondria, but photosynthetic energy conversion occurs exclusively in organelles that are absent in animal cells. IV. Cell division in higher plant cells does not involve centrioles, whereas centrioles play a key role during spindle formation in animal cells. Which of the statements given above are correct?
