Question

Which statement about plant and animal cells is true?
(3 Points)

Both use mitochondria to produce energy.

Both have a cell wall to give them support.

Both have a large vacuole to store water.

Both use chloroplasts to store energy

Answer 1

The true statement about plant and animal cells is:

**Both use mitochondria to produce energy.**

Plant cells and animal cells both contain mitochondria, which are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they produce energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.

The other statements are incorrect:
- Plant cells have a cell wall, while animal cells do not.
- Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole, while animal cells usually have smaller, more numerous vacuoles.
- Only plant cells have chloroplasts, which are used for photosynthesis and converting sunlight into energy.
