Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A

Plant cells have a cell wall while animal cells do not.

C

A plant cell has chloroplast while animal cell does not.

A prominent difference between a plant and an animal cell is the presence of a cell wall and chloroplasts. Plant cells have chloroplasts and the cell membrane has an outer covering called cell wall. Animal cells lack both chloroplasts and cell walls.
