CELL STRUCTURE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Structures specific in plant cells but not in animal cells include
A
a large central vacuole
B
the cell membrane
C
the mitochondria
D
the cytoplasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animal Cells versus Plant Cells Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.

Detailed explanation-3: -The plant has the largest vacuole than animal cells because in plant cells the larger central vacuole performs two functions, one is to store water and the other is to help the plant remain upright.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, plasmodesmata, and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.

Detailed explanation-5: -It also pushes the contents of the cell toward the cell membrane, which allows the plant cells to take in more light energy for making food through photosynthesis. Vacuoles are also found in animal, protist, fungal, and bacterial cells, but large central vacuoles are only found in plant cells.
