Detailed explanation-1: -The two structures found in plant cells that are absent in animal cells are cell wall and chloroplast.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Root cells do not contain chloroplasts because in most plants the roots are underground and not exposed to light.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. The organelles are only found in plant cells and some protists such as algae. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, which are not found within animal cells.
