Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Plant cells are studying under a microscope. One set of structures observed are mitochondria and another set are identified as chloroplasts. Is is possible that both mitochondria and chloroplasts were correctly identified?
A
Yes. Many plant cells have both mitochondria and chloroplasts.
B
Yes, but only if the mitochondria and chloroplasts are in separate cells and not together in the same cells.
C
No. Plant cells only have chloroplasts and not mitochondria.
D
No. Plant cells only have mitochondria.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Special Structures in Plant Cells Most organelles are common to both animal and plant cells. However, plant cells also have features that animal cells do not have: a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and plastids such as chloroplasts.

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: -Thus, Chloroplast is the organelle that is found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell.
