Solution
The organelle called the chloroplast is present in plant cells only.
Explanation:
Chloroplast is an organelle found only in the cells of plants and some algae. It contains a green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight in the process of photosynthesis and converts it into food (glucose).
Animal cells do not have this ability to make food, so chloroplasts are not found in them.
