Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. The cell wall provides structural support and protection. This gives the plant cells their distinct rectangular or pentagonal shape.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ans : (b) Chloroplast Chloroplasts are present only in plant cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
