NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The two structures found in plant cells that are absent in animal cells are cell wall and chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are found in plant cells, but not in animal cells. The purpose of the chloroplast is to make sugars that feed the cell’s machinery. Photosynthesis is the process of a plant taking energy from the Sun and creating sugars.

Detailed explanation-4: -Root cells do not contain chloroplasts because in most plants the roots are underground and not exposed to light.

Detailed explanation-5: -Animals don’t need chloroplasts because they acquire sugar from their diet; they just need mitochondria. Vacuoles are found in both plant and animal cells. A big, solitary vacuole is found in each plant cell and is used to store water and nutrients.
