Question

select the correct statement describing cellular structure or function. only plant cells contain chloroplasts, and only animal cells contain mitochondria. plant and animal cells both carry out cellular respiration, producing atp. mitochondria and chloroplasts are part of the endomembrane system of the eukaryotic cell.

Explanation:

1. Both plant and animal cells have mitochondria which are involved in cellular respiration to produce ATP. Chloroplasts are unique to plant - like cells for photosynthesis. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are not part of the endomembrane system.
2. Option 1 is incorrect because both plant and animal cells have mitochondria.
3. Option 3 is incorrect as mitochondria and chloroplasts are not part of the endomembrane system.

Answer:

Plant and animal cells both carry out cellular respiration, producing ATP.
