Which of the following cell organelles is found in the plant cell but not in animal cell? A. Chloroplast B. Endoplasmic Reticulum C. Mitochondrion D. Ribosome Correct Answer A

Option 1 is the correct answer: Chloroplast is found in plant cells but not in animal cells.

  • Chloroplasts are the photosynthetically active plastids.
  • These contain the pigment chlorophyll which provides green colour to plants.
  • These help in producing food in plants from CO2 and H2O in the presence of sunlight.
  • These plastids are found in leaves and other aerial parts of plants.
