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

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -So, plants have cell walls as they don’t move. But animals cannot have walls at all, because, that would prevent them from moving freely.

Detailed explanation-4: -Moreover plant cells have cell wall because plants do not move from one place to another and hence they require rigidity which is provided by the cell wall but animal cells move. The cell wall if present in the animal cell will be a hindrance to movement.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
