Single correct option

Consider the following statements:
1. Plant cells lack a cell wall.
2. Chloroplasts are found in animal cells.
Which of the statements is/are correct?
  1. A. 1 only
  2. B. 2 only
  3. C. Both 1 and 2
  4. D. Neither 1 nor 2
Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) Neither 1 nor 2

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall of cellulose outside the cell membrane, so statement 1 is wrong. Chloroplasts, the sites of photosynthesis, are found only in plant cells and some algae, not in animal cells, so statement 2 is wrong. Animal cells have only a cell membrane and are heterotrophic.
