Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the question is asking to identify an organelle or structure that is unique to plant cells and not found in animal cells.
Step 2: Recall the functions and presence of each organelle listed: Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and chloroplasts.
Step 3: Recognize that Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and rough endoplasmic reticulum are found in both plant and animal cells because they perform essential cellular functions common to both.
Step 4: Identify that chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis and are found only in plant cells (and some protists), not in animal cells.
Step 5: Conclude that the organelle unique to plant cells among the options given is the chloroplast.
