• A. ii and iii
• B. iii and iv
• C. i and ii
• D. ii and iv

Answer 1

The correct option is D ii and iv

$\bullet$ Plant cells have a rigid cell wall present outside the cell membrane. It helps the plant cells to maintain its shape. Whereas, the cell wall is absent in animal cells and the outermost covering is made up of cell membrane.
$\bullet$ Plant cells have coloured plastids and the chloroplast is one of the most common plastids which gives the green colour to the leaves of the plant.
$\bullet$ Plant cells have a single large vacuole, whereas there are various small vacuoles present In animal cells.
$\bullet$ Lysosomes are always present in animal cells whereas they are rarely present in plant cells.
