Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ are the power houses of the cell. They are in both plants and animals.
A
Chloroplasts
B
Mitochondria
C
Nucleus
D
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria is the powerhouse of cells that are generally involved in the production of energy currency ATP. All the cells require energy to live and therefore mitochondria are found in all the living cells whether plants or animals. Since mitochondria are found in both plants and animals.

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: -Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food. This process is known as cellular respiration. It is for this reason that mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell. In cellular respiration sugar with the help of oxygen is broken down into ATP (energy molecule).

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts are the power houses of plants. They are the site of photosynthesis, the process that uses sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce the energy that powers life on Earth.
