The answer to the question is a. mitochondria , as this structure is found in animal cells but not in bacterial cells, since bacteria lack membrane-bound organelles. Both cell types contain DNA and plasma membranes, while flagella may be present in some bacteria but are not a characteristic of all animal cells. Thus, mitochondria is the only option not common to both types of cells.
