Correct answer: Leaf cells have chloroplasts, but root cells do not.
Explanation: Leaf cells (in the green parts of plants) contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Root cells are usually adapted for water and mineral uptake and lack chloroplasts. The other choices are incorrect: both cell types have nuclei and can reproduce (divide), and roots absorb water/minerals from soil while leaves exchange gases, not absorb nutrients from air.
