Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

In plant cells, the following organelles or structures are present that are not found in animal cells:

- **Cell wall**: Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, which provides structure and support. Animal cells do not have a cell wall.
  
- **Chloroplast**: Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells. They contain chlorophyll and are not present in animal cells.

- **Central vacuole**: Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole that stores water, nutrients, and waste products. While animal cells may have small vacuoles, they do not have a large central vacuole like those in plant cells.

The other options listed are present in both plant and animal cells:

- **Plasma membrane**: Present in both plant and animal cells.
- **Golgi apparatus**: Present in both plant and animal cells.
- **Centrioles**: Typically found in animal cells and are involved in cell division; they are generally absent in plant cells.
- **Nucleus**: Present in both plant and animal cells.
- **Mitochondria**: Present in both plant and animal cells.

Thus, the correct selections are:

- $$ \square $$ Cell wall
- $$ \square $$ Chloroplast
- $$ \square $$ Central vacuole
The organelles present in plant cells but not in animal cells are the **cell wall**, **chloroplast**, and **central vacuole**.
