Question

which of the following organelles is found in both plant and animal cells? cell wall chloroplast central vacuole mitochondrion

Explanation:

To determine which organelle is in both plant and animal cells, we analyze each option:

• Cell wall: Present only in plant cells (provides structure).
• Chloroplast: Present only in plant cells (for photosynthesis).
• Central vacuole: Larger in plant cells, smaller or absent in animal cells (stores substances).
• Mitochondrion: Present in both, as it is the site of cellular respiration (produces energy) in eukaryotic cells (both plant and animal are eukaryotic).

Answer:

Mitochondrion (the option with "Mitochondrion" as the label)
