Which two structures occur in plant cells but never in animal cells?
AChloroplast and cell wall
BNucleus and cytoplasm
CVacuole and cell membrane
DCytoplasm and cell membrane
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Chloroplast and cell wall
1. Plant and animal cells share most of their basic machinery.
2. Both have a cell membrane, a nucleus and cytoplasm.
3. A vacuole occurs in both, though it is far larger and more permanent in a plant cell.
4. Only the plant cell has a chloroplast, which carries the chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
5. Only the plant cell has a rigid cell wall outside the membrane, giving the cell its fixed shape.
