Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does a plant cell have that animal cells don’t have?
A
spores
B
cell wall
C
chloroplasts
D
cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells must be rigid to maintain their posture, and they require chlorophyll, which is found in the chloroplast, for food production. Animals, on the other hand, do not require cell rigidity and do not have chloroplast because they are heterotrophs.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Cyanobacteria and some other photosynthetic bacteria don’t have chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The inner stem cells and underground organs, such as the root system or bulb, contain no chloroplasts. Because no sunlight reaches these areas, chloroplasts would be useless. Fruit and flower cells typically do not contain chloroplasts because their primary jobs are reproduction and dispersal.
