STRUCTURAL ORGANISATION IN ANIMALS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle belongs in plant cells but not animal cells?
A
Cell Membrane
B
Mitochondrion
C
Chloroplast
D
Nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, Chloroplast is the organelle that is found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-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: -Because animals get sugar from the food they eat, they do not need chloroplasts: just mitochondria. Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-5: -The answer is chloroplast and cell wall. The structures that are present in plant cells but are absent from animal cells are the chloroplast and cell wall. The chloroplast is a membrane-bound subcellular compartment (organelle) that carries the pigment chlorophyll which is responsible for the photosynthesis process.
