Answer
Here’s the classification of the structures based on their uniqueness to neurons:
- Nucleus: Not unique to neurons (found in all eukaryotic cells).
- Mitochondria: Not unique to neurons (found in all eukaryotic cells).
- Rough ER: Not unique to neurons (found in all eukaryotic cells, but its distribution is different in neurons).
- Synaptic vesicle: Unique to neurons (these are specialized structures involved in neurotransmitter storage and release at synapses).
- Golgi apparatus: Not unique to neurons (found in all eukaryotic cells)
