Which two structures are found ONLY in plant cells?
A
vacuoles and ribosomes
B
chloroplasts and ribosomes
C
cell walls and chloroplasts
D
endoplasmic reticulum and cell walls
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Final answer : The two structures found in plant cells that are absent in animal cells are cell wall and chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -The Structure and Function of Chloroplasts In addition to the inner and outer membranes of the envelope, chloroplasts have a third internal membrane system, called the thylakoid membrane. The thylakoid membrane forms a network of flattened discs called thylakoids, which are frequently arranged in stacks called grana.
