1 answer

Plant cells have several organelles that are not found in animal cells. The primary organelles that are present in plant cells but not in animal cells include:

  1. Chloroplasts - These organelles are responsible for photosynthesis, allowing plants to convert sunlight into energy.

  2. Cell Wall - The rigid outer layer that provides structure and protection to plant cells, composed mainly of cellulose.

  3. Central Vacuole - A large vacuole that stores water, nutrients, and waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.

These organelles are key features that differentiate plant cells from animal cells.
