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: -Animal cells and plant cells share the common components of a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a cell membrane.

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: -Endoplasmic reticulum is present in both plant and animal cells and acts as the site of protein and lipid synthesis.
