The correct answer is A - Plant Cell; B - Animal Cell; C - Plant Cell.

Explanation:

A eukaryotic cell is composed of various cell components such as the cell membrane, cell wall (only in plants), mitochondria, chloroplast, Golgi bodies, ribosomes, centrioles (only in animals), etc.

  • Cytoplasm:
    • Cytoplasm is present in the plant cell. The cytoplasm is a jelly-like fluid that fills a cell.
    • All organelles and cell parts are found within the cytoplasm, which is present within the cell membrane.
    • The animal cell contains cytoplasm as well. It functions like the same in the plant cell.
  • Nucleus:
    • The nucleus is present in the plant cell and is located on one side of the cell.
    • The nucleus is present in the animal cell also, but it is located in the cell's centre.
  • Cell wall:
    • Plant cells have a cell wall composed of the cell membrane as well as cellulose.
    • It gives shape and rigidity to the plant cells.
    • Animal cells do not have a cell wall.
  • Cell membrane:
    • A plant cell is enclosed by a hard or rigid cell wall along with the cell membrane (plasma membrane).
    • The animal cell is enclosed by a thin, flexible cell membrane.
  • Chloroplasts:
    • These are photosynthetic plastids, which are green in colour and found in the leaves of all green plants.
    • Chloroplast is present only in green parts of the plants. Thus, it is not present in the roots of the plants.
    • In plants, their main role is to prepare food by the process of photosynthesis.
    • Animal cells do not have chloroplasts because they do not have the ability to prepare their food.
