Which two parts of the cell are unique to plant cells?
A
Cell membrane and cytoplasm
B
Cell wall and cytoplasm
C
Cell wall and chloroplasts
D
Cell membrane and chloroplasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Conclusion. Plant cells have certain distinguishing features, including chloroplasts, cell walls, and intracellular vacuoles. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts; cell walls allow plants to have strong, upright structures; and vacuoles help regulate how cells handle water and storage of other molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -All plastids contain the same genome as chloroplasts, but they differ in both structure and function. Chloroplasts are specialized for photosynthesis and are unique in that they contain the internal thylakoid membrane system.

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.
