|
|
|
Yes. Many plant cells have both mitochondria and chloroplasts.
|
|
|
Yes, but only if the mitochondria and chloroplasts are in separate cells and not together in the same cells.
|
|
|
No. Plant cells only have chloroplasts and not mitochondria.
|
|
|
No. Plant cells only have mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells require both chloroplasts and mitochondria since they carry out both cell respiration and photosynthesis. Chloroplasts and mitochondria are cell organelles of a plant cell.
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: -Mitochondria are observed in plant cells that contain chloroplasts. Why do you find mitochondria in photosynthetic tissue? Mitochondria are not needed but are an evolutionary relic. Mitochondria and chloroplasts work together to use light energy to make sugars.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are a large number of regularly shaped cells lying side by side and each cell has a distinct cell wall. A distinct nucleus is present on the periphery of each cell. Lightly stained cytoplasm is observed in each cell. A large vacuole is present at the centre of each cell, and is surrounded by the cytoplasm.
