Which two structures are found ONLY in plant cells?
A
vacuoles and ribosomes
B
chloroplasts and ribosomes
C
cell walls and chloroplasts
D
endoplasmic reticulum and cell walls
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, which are not found within animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two structures found in plant cells that are absent in animal cells are cell wall and chloroplast.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -There are two distinct regions present inside a chloroplast known as the grana and stroma. Grana are made up of stacks of disc-shaped structures known as thylakoids or lamellae.
