Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle is found in most plants, some bacteria and some protists?
A
ribosomes
B
mitochondria
C
endoplasmic reticulum
D
chloroplasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They’re responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. The organelles are only found in plant cells and some protists such as algae. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Chloroplasts are the organelles found in plant cells that contain chlorophyll pigments which conduct photosynthesis in plants, some bacteria, and some protists. They form glucose molecules, which can be connected to form polysaccharides of starch.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Cell membrane is found in all plant cells, animal cells, and also in bacterial cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthetic protists have chloroplasts and are capable of photosynthesis, although not all use the same chloroplast pigments and they often have different chloroplast structure. Heterotrophic protists require organic chemicals from their environment.
