Animal cells contain both a cell membrane and a cell wall, but a plant cell contains only a cell membrane. Only animal cells contain nuclei. Only animal cells contain nuclei. Plant cells contain chloroplasts and cell walls, and animal cells do not. Plant cells contain chloroplasts and cell walls, and animal cells do not. Only plant cells contain vacuoles.

Answer 1

The accurate statement when comparing plant and animal cells is:

**Plant cells contain chloroplasts and cell walls, and animal cells do not.**

Plant cells have cell walls that provide structure and support, as well as chloroplasts that are involved in photosynthesis, which animal cells lack. While both plant and animal cells can contain vacuoles, plant cells typically have a large central vacuole, and animal cells may have smaller vacuoles. However, it is incorrect to say only plant cells contain vacuoles.
