Which Organelle is Found in Plant Cells but Not in Animal

Question

Which organelle is found in plant cells but not in animal cells?
A) chloroplast
B) endoplasmic reticulum
C) centriole
D) mitochondrion

Accepted Answer

Chloroplasts are organelles that are found only in plant cells and are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that helps plants to absorb light and convert it into energy. Animal cells do not require chloroplasts because they obtain energy from the food they consume rather than from photosynthesis.
