Which organelles or structures are found in plant cells but not in animal cells?
A
Chloroplasts and a cellulose cell wall
B
Centrioles and lysosomes
C
Mitochondria and ribosomes
D
Rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the question is asking to identify organelles or structures unique to plant cells and not found in animal cells.
Step 2: Recall that chloroplasts are organelles responsible for photosynthesis and are present in plant cells but absent in animal cells.
Step 3: Remember that plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, which provides structural support and is not found in animal cells.
Step 4: Recognize that centrioles, lysosomes, mitochondria, ribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus are found in both plant and animal cells, so they are not unique to plant cells.
Step 5: Conclude that the organelles or structures found only in plant cells are chloroplasts and the cellulose cell wall.
