Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In what type of cells are chloroplasts found?
A
Prokaryotic plant cells contain chloroplasts.
B
Eukaryotic plant cells contain chloroplasts.
C
Prokaryotic animal cells contain chloroplasts.
D
Eukaryotic animal cells contain chloroplasts.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, chloroplasts are concentrated particularly in the parenchyma cells of the leaf mesophyll (the internal cell layers of a leaf).

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -All green plants and algae of eukaryotes contain chloroplasts. These are organelles that contain the photosynthetic pigment, and chlorophyll, and thus are crucial for the green plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. Chloroplasts are specific plant organelles of prokaryotic origin.

Detailed explanation-5: -The energy contained in these sugars is harvested through a process called cellular respiration, which happens in the mitochondria of both plant and animal cells. Chloroplasts are disc-shaped organelles found in the cytosol of a cell. They have outer and inner membranes with an intermembrane space between them.
