In addition to features found in animal cells, what elements are only found in plant cells?
A
Cell Wall
B
Vacuole
C
Plasmids
D
Chloroplasts
E
Mibosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Presence of a cell wall: The cell wall offers rigidity to the plant cells. Presence of large vacuoles: The large vacuole cover a major part of the cytoplasm and it increases with aging of the cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animal cells each have a centrosome and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are found in plant cells only because chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is essential for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll traps sunlight and uses it to prepare food for plants by the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: Centrioles and lysosomes are found only in animal cells and not in plant cells.
