question 3
all eukaryotic cells have mitochondria, but only plants and some photosynthetic protists have chloroplasts.
which of the following statements could be inferred from this information?
all eukaryotic cells need to produce chemical energy (atp)
all eukaryotic cells need to produce their own food.
chloroplasts are larger than mitochondria
all prokaryotic cells need chloroplast.

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, responsible for producing ATP (chemical energy). Since all eukaryotic cells have mitochondria, it can be inferred that all eukaryotic cells need to produce chemical energy (ATP). Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis (producing food), but not all eukaryotic cells have them, so not all eukaryotic cells produce their own food. There is no information about the size comparison between chloroplasts and mitochondria. Prokaryotic cells do not have chloroplasts (they are eukaryotic cell organelles).

Answer:

A. All eukaryotic cells need to produce chemical energy (ATP)
