Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Are mitochondria found in most plant cells?
A
Yes, because they’re found in plants and animals.
B
No, they are only found in one type of cell.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Furthermore, it is no surprise that mitochondria are present in both plants and animals, implying major commonalities in regulation, energy production, substrates employed, etc. This common presence of mitochondria, with similar functions and structure, underscores how close our life forms are.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like animal cells, plant cells also have mitochondria. The mitochondria play a critical role in integrating the sugar that is produced in the cell to generate energy. Mitochondria are necessary for plants to produce energy in ATP form, which is normally done during the day through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yes, Mitochondria are found in plant cells. Mitochondria are exclusively present in eukaryotic cells, such as plants, animals, and fungi, and are surrounded by two membranes.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is the powerhouse of cells that are generally involved in the production of energy currency i.e, ATP. All the cells require energy to live and therefore mitochondria are found in all the living cells whether plants or animals.
