Question

*If you were asked to identify plant cells by showing photographs of plant and animal cells, which of the following organelle would help you identify plant cells?*

1️⃣ Nucleus
2️⃣ Endoplasmic Reticulum
3️⃣ Large vacuoles
4️⃣ mitochindria​

Answer 1

3. Large Vacuoles is the answer!

Answer 2

Option 3) Large vacuoles

• Plant cells and animal cells have similarities and differences that make them easy to identify under a microscope.
• The main difference between plant and animal cells is the presence of a cell wall in the plant cell. Animal cells only have a cell membrane.
• Plants store fats and glycogen in large vacuoles whereas animals have a negligible amount of small vacuoles.
• In some plants, the vacuoles cover more than 70% of the cell area.
• Hence, plants can be identified based on their large vacuoles.
