Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
These structures are found in plant cells only
A
cell wall, cell membrane
B
mitochondria, chloroplast
C
cell wall, cytoplasm
D
chloroplast, cell wall
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The organelles found only in plant cells include chloroplast, cell wall and a vacuole. The chloroplasts contain a green pigment chlorophyll that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis. Plant cells are rigid and have a hexagonal shape because of the presence of cell wall.

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: -Cell walls are only found in plant cells and in some fungi, algae, and bacteria. They are absent in animal cells. There is a reason why all cells do not have a cell wall. Cell walls are very rigid.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plant cell wall is generally arranged in 3 layers and composed of carbohydrates, like pectin, cellulose, hemicellulose and other smaller amounts of minerals, which form a network along with structural proteins to form the cell wall. The three major layers are: Primary Cell Wall. The Middle Lamella.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
