what else along with Chloroplast is only found in plant cells
A
chlorophyll
B
a chicken
C
cell wall
D
my cat
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The organelles found only in plant cells include chloroplast, cell wall and a vacuole.

Detailed explanation-2: -Typical components of the cell wall include cellulose, non-cellulosic, and pectic polysaccharides, proteins, phenolic compounds, and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, which are not found within animal cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. The organelles are only found in plant cells and some protists such as algae. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
