Structures found in plant cells but not in animal cells include chloroplasts, a large central vacuole and:
AA rigid cell wall
BA dense nucleolus
CA cytoskeleton
DA Golgi apparatus
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A rigid cell wall
1. Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so most organelles are shared.
2. The differences are few and specific.
3. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.
4. Nucleoli, cytoskeletons and Golgi bodies are present in both, so none of them separates the two.
