Which organelle is only found in a plant cell?
A
nucleus
B
chloroplast
C
mitochondria
D
cell membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The organelles found only in plant cells include chloroplast, cell wall and a vacuole. The chloroplasts contain a green pigment chlorophyll that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts contain green pigment called chlorophyll which helps in manufacture of food through the process of photosynthesis. Since, animals do not manufacture food so they do not need chloroplast. And hence, chloroplast is found only in plant cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are specialized for photosynthesis and are unique in that they contain the internal thylakoid membrane system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts produce energy through photosynthesis and oxygen-release processes, which sustain plant growth and crop yield. As such, chloroplasts are responsible for the biosynthesis of active compounds such as amino acids, phytohormones, nucleotides, vitamins, lipids, and secondary metabolites [9].
