What can only be found in plant cells?
A
Cell membrane
B
Vacuole
C
Chloroplast
D
Mitochondrion
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: -The organelles found only in plant cells include-chloroplast, cell wall, plastids, and a large central vacuole. The chloroplasts contain a green pigment chlorophyll that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are found only in plants and photosynthetic algae. (Humans and other animals do not have chloroplasts.) The chloroplast’s job is to carry out a process called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, light energy is collected and used to build sugars from carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
