GPT-4o mini
Plant cells contain several organelles that are not found in animal cells. The main organelles unique to plant cells are:
1. **Chloroplasts** - These organelles are responsible for photosynthesis, allowing plants to convert sunlight into energy.
2. **Cell wall** - A rigid outer layer that provides structural support and protection; it is primarily made of cellulose.
3. **Large central vacuole** - While both plant and animal cells may have vacuoles, plant cells typically contain a large central vacuole that stores water, nutrients, and waste products, helping to maintain turgor pressure.
These organelles differentiate plant cells from animal cells.
