Which statement about plant and animal cells is true?

Question

(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.
