Which of these is present in plant cells but not animal cells?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The answer is chloroplasts.

Cell membrane:in animal cells, this separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space)

Cell wall: in plant cells, gives the cell a rigid rectangular shape, helps to keep the organelles inside the cell, and does not let the cell burst due to changes in pressure.

Chloroplast: in plant cells, allows for photosynthesis, traps energy from sunlight

Endoplasmic reticulum: translation and folding of new proteins

Flagellum: Helps a cell move (not all cells have these)

Golgi apparatus: sorting, packaging, processing and modification of proteins

Mitochondrion: Produces energy in the form of ATP

Nucleus: contains DNA, controls all activities of the cell, performs RNA transcription

Vacuole: stores nutrients, transportation, helps maintain homeostasis
