Question

which organelles are found in plant cells but not in animal cells?
cell membrane, vacuole
cell wall, chloroplasts
cell wall, vacuole
cell membrane, chloroplasts

Explanation:

• Cell membrane: Present in both plant and animal cells. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
• Vacuole: While plant cells have a large central vacuole, animal cells have small vacuoles. So, the presence of a large vacuole is not exclusive to plant cells (as the option “cell wall, vacuole” suggests a general vacuole which is not a correct distinguishing feature).
• Cell wall: A rigid structure made of cellulose that surrounds the plant cell membrane. Animal cells lack a cell wall.
• Chloroplasts: Organelles in plant cells that contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts as they do not perform photosynthesis.

Answer:

cell wall, chloroplasts
