Plant cells contain both chloroplasts and mitochondria; animal cells have only mitochondria. What can be inferred from this statement?

A. Plant cells do not use ATP
B Animal cells make their energy with chloroplasts.
C Chloroplasts make glucose; mitochondira break glucose down into ATP.
D. Plants do not eat, so both chloroplasts and mitochondria are needed to make enough energy for plants to grow.

Answer: D. Plants do not eat, so both chloroplasts and mitochondria are needed to make enough energy for plants to grow.

Explanation: Option A is invalid since plant cells do use ATP. Option B is invalid since animal cells don't make their energy with chloroplasts. Option D is the most realistic one since chloroplasts in the plant are the ones that make the food for the plants, plant doesn't have a "mouth" so they depend on chloroplast to make food.
