Best Answer

Not all organelles are exclusive to plants. The only organelles which are exclusive to plant cells are the choloroplasts (site of photosynthesis) and the Vacuole (water container of the cell).

If you're talking about prokaryotic cells (cells without nucleus, AKA bacteria) and Eukaryotic cells (cells with nucleus, AKA all other cells), then most organelles are exclusive to Eukaryotic cells (all except for ribosomes).

The reason for this is because Eukaryotic cells are more developed and have acquired more features throughout evolution. See Endosymbiotic theory for more details on the evolution of Eukaryotes.
