THE CHLOROPLAST

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What organelle(s) would say this:"I can be found in animal cells.”
A
mitochondrion only
B
chloroplast only
C
both mitochondrion and chloroplast
D
neither mitochondrion nor chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-2: -Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria, but only plant cells have chloroplasts. Plants don’t get their sugar from eating food, so they need to make sugar from sunlight. This process (photosynthesis) takes place in the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-3: -Centrioles-Centrioles are self-replicating organelles made up of nine bundles of microtubules and are found only in animal cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because animals get sugar from the food they eat, they do not need chloroplasts: just mitochondria. Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles.
