Question
You read in an article that a new compound has been discovered that prevents ATP production in eukaryotic cells. Based on this information, consider what cellular machinery and which types of cells would be affected if treated with the compound. Which of the following statements correctly predict what may happen in this scenario and correctly explain why?

The correct statements are:
- Bacterial cells would not be affected because they are not eukaryotic.
- Plant cells would be affected because they contain chloroplasts.
- Animal cells would be affected because they contain mitochondria.
Eukaryotic cells, including plant and animal cells, rely on ATP production in mitochondria for energy. In plant cells, chloroplasts also produce ATP during photosynthesis. Bacterial cells, on the other hand, do not have mitochondria or chloroplasts, so they would not be affected by a compound that targets ATP production in eukaryotic cells.
- Bacterial cells would not be affected because they are not eukaryotic.
- Plant cells would be affected because they contain chloroplasts.
- Animal cells would be affected because they contain mitochondria.
