Which of the following structures are found in both animal and plant cells?
A
Cell wall
B
Chloroplasts
C
Mitochondria
D
Central vacuole
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by understanding the structural differences between animal and plant cells. Animal cells and plant cells share many organelles, but some structures are unique to plant cells, such as the cell wall and chloroplasts.
Step 2: Recall that mitochondria are organelles responsible for energy production through cellular respiration. They are found in both animal and plant cells because both types of cells require energy to function.
Step 3: Note that the cell wall is a rigid structure that provides support and protection to plant cells. It is not found in animal cells, as animal cells have a flexible plasma membrane instead.
Step 4: Understand that chloroplasts are organelles involved in photosynthesis, a process unique to plant cells. Animal cells do not perform photosynthesis and therefore lack chloroplasts.
Step 5: Recognize that the central vacuole is a large storage organelle found in plant cells, used for storing water, nutrients, and waste. Animal cells may have small vacuoles, but they do not have a central vacuole like plant cells.
