Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What statement best describes plant and animal cells.
A
Plants cells contain vacuoles and animal cells do not.
B
DNA is not found in either cell type.
C
Both plant and animal cells use energy released from ATP.
D
Both cell types produce antibiotics.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP is used for all the processes that occur within a cell that need energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Furthermore, it is no surprise that mitochondria are present in both plants and animals, implying major commonalities in regulation, energy production, substrates employed, etc. This common presence of mitochondria, with similar functions and structure, underscores how close our life forms are.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Like animal cells, plant cells also have mitochondria. The mitochondria play a critical role in integrating the sugar that is produced in the cell to generate energy. Mitochondria are necessary for plants to produce energy in ATP form, which is normally done during the day through photosynthesis.
