Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What organelle(s) would say this:“I can be found in plant cells.”
A
mitochondrion only
B
chloroplast only
C
both mitochondrion and chloroplast
D
neither mitochondrion nor chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts are double-membraned organelles present only in plant cells. Lysosomes, ribosomes and mitochondria are present in both plant and animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Chloroplasts (members of the plastid family) and mitochondria are central to the energy cycles of ecosystems and the biosphere. They both contain DNA, organized into nucleoids, coding for critical genes for photosynthetic and respiratory energy production.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -A nucleus is an organelle that is present in both plant and animal cells. It controls all the activities of the cell.
