Which set of features is found in both plant and animal cells?
- Cell membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm
- Chloroplast, cell wall and cell membrane
- Vacuole, cell membrane and cell wall
- Cell wall, chloroplast and vacuole
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. Cell membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm
1. Work through which structures each cell type actually has.
2. The cell membrane, the nucleus and the cytoplasm are present in both plant and animal cells.
3. The chloroplast and the cell wall are found only in plant cells.
4. So any option naming either of those cannot describe both cell types.
5. A vacuole does occur in both, but every option containing it here is paired with the cell wall, which is plant only.
