Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Are chloroplast found in most plant cells?
A
No, the organelles are found in plant cells.
B
Yes, they are found in most plant cells.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Chloroplasts are present in the cells of all green tissues of plants and algae. Chloroplasts are also found in photosynthetic tissues that do not appear green, such as the brown blades of giant kelp or the red leaves of certain plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are found in plant cells, but not in animal cells. The purpose of the chloroplast is to make sugars that feed the cell’s machinery. Photosynthesis is the process of a plant taking energy from the Sun and creating sugars.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The two organelles found only in plant cells are chloroplasts and central vacuoles. Chloroplasts are the organelle that contains chlorophyll and allows the plant to conduct photosynthesis. Central vacuoles are used to store water and other molecules, such as potassium.

Detailed explanation-5: -Centrosomes and lysosomes are found in animal cells, but do not exist within plant cells.
