What can only be found in plant cells?
A
Cell membrane
B
Vacuole
C
Chloroplast
D
Mitochondrion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Where are chloroplasts found? Chloroplasts are present in the cells of all green tissues of plants and algae. Chloroplasts are also found in photosynthetic tissues that do not appear green, such as the brown blades of giant kelp or the red leaves of certain plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -For example, plant cells contain chloroplasts since they need to perform photosynthesis, but animal cells do not.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
