What structures are found in plants but not animals?

Some structures found in plants but not animals include chloroplasts (responsible for photosynthesis), cell walls (provide structure and support), and plastids (store food and pigments). Additionally, plants have specialized structures like roots, stems, and leaves for functions such as anchoring, transport, and photosynthesis, which animals lack.

What is ment by plastids?

Plastids are membrane-bound organelles found in the cells of plants and algae. They are responsible for functions such as photosynthesis, storage of pigments, and synthesis of complex biochemical compounds. Plastids can include chloroplasts, which carry out photosynthesis, and other types like leucoplasts and chromoplasts, which have specialized functions.

What was the ultimate origin of all plastids?

The ultimate origin of all plastids is believed to be cyanobacteria through a process called primary endosymbiosis. This involved a eukaryotic cell engulfing a cyanobacterium, which eventually evolved into plastids such as chloroplasts in plants.
