Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which structures do plant cells have that animal cells do NOT have?

A	cell wall
B	large central vacuole
C	chloroplasts
D	all of these

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria, but only plant cells have chloroplasts. Plants don’t get their sugar from eating food, so they need to make sugar from sunlight. This process (photosynthesis) takes place in the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Centrioles and lysosomes are found only in animal cells and not in plant cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animal cells and plant cells share the common components of a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a cell membrane.
