Can you please describe 3 cell structures that a plant cell has that an animal cell does not have.

Chloroplasts- green organelle that contains chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight needed for photosynthesis (LIKE A SOLAR PANEL)Cell wall- they have in addition to a cell membrane a cell wall made of cellulose this is to support the plant cell and allows it to stay rigid.Permanent vacuole- filled with sap and it also helps keep cell turgid turgid means swollen because plant cells fill up with water and remain inflated
(plant cells are like a water balloon you fill them up with water and allow the cells to swell.This keeps the plant upright. However, if you do not give a plant enough water it will become flaccid and bend down).
