Which structure is common to plant and animal cells?
A
chloroplast
B
cell wall
C
central vacuole
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Membrane-bound organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, the nucleus, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, and lysosomes, are found in both plant and animal cells. They also have membranes that are close to each other, such as cytoskeletal elements and cytosol.

Detailed explanation-2: -Structure of Mitochondria The mitochondrion is a double-membraned, rod-shaped structure found in both plant and animal cell. Its size ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 micrometre in diameter. The structure comprises an outer membrane, an inner membrane, and a gel-like material called the matrix.

Detailed explanation-3: -Furthermore, it is no surprise that mitochondria are present in both plants and animals, implying major commonalities in regulation, energy production, substrates employed, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are common to both plant and animal cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Known as the “powerhouses of the cell, ‘’ mitochondria produce the energy necessary for the cell’s survival and functioning. Through a series of chemical reactions, mitochondria break down glucose into an energy molecule known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used to fuel various other cellular processes.
