Which of the following statements accurately represents the differences in plant and animal cells?

• Only plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole.

• Only animal cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large vacuole

• Only plant cells have a cell membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm

• Only animal cells have a cell membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm

The primary function f the chloroplast is to-

• convert food into energy a cell can use

• control the functions of a cell and control genetic traits

• convert radiant energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis

• store water and nutrients
