THE CHLOROPLAST

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

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts are double-membraned organelles present only in plant cells. Lysosomes, ribosomes and mitochondria are present in both plant and animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own DNA and ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria and chloroplast are organelles found in a plant cell. However, the chloroplast is absent in an animal cell, but mitochondria is found in both. Mitochondria generates energy for the cell in the form of ATP using oxygen and nutrients. Chloroplast is the site for photosynthesis in a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant and animal cells also have many common organelles, including the nucleus, cell membrane (called the plasma membrane in animals), endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and cytoplasm, as well as several others.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, are in many respects similar to mitochondria. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria function to generate metabolic energy, evolved by endosymbiosis, contain their own genetic systems, and replicate by division.
