Solution

Plant cell :
The two structures found in plant cells that are absent in animal cells are cell walls and chloroplast.
Cell wall: Cell wall is the rigid, non-living, outermost layer of a plant cell that is mainly made up of cellulose. It is a protective covering that provides protection, support, and mechanical strength to the cell.
Chloroplast: Chloroplast is a cell organelle present in plants that is the site for photosynthesis(the process by which plants prepare their food by converting light energy into chemical energy). It contains a green color photosynthetic pigment called chlorophyll that carries out photosynthesis.
Final answer :
The two structures found in plant cells that are absent in animal cells are cell wall and chloroplast.
