Question

Which of the following describes organelle structures that plant and animal cells have in common?

A) They both have ribosomes that are used to synthesize proteins and a cell membrane that serves as a selective barrier for the cell.

B) They both have a central vacuole that stores water and food and mitochondria that releases energy from glucose molecules.

C) They both have chloroplasts where conversion of light to chemical energy occurs and a cell membrane that serves as a selective barrier for the cell.

D) They both have a cell wall that provides protection and support and a nucleus where DNA is stored.

(I think its A)

Answer 1

I believe it's A as well. Looking at a model of both animal and plant cells, you can see they both do have ribosomes and cell membranes.

Answer 2

A) They both have ribosomes that are used to synthesize proteins and a cell membrane that serves as a selective barrier for the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not B because animal cells do not have big vacuolas if they had any they are small, but it is common to have them in vegetal cells.

It is not C because animal cells do not have chloroplasts because they do not do photosynthesis its energy is taken by metabolizing nutrients from food.

It is not D because the animal cell does not have a cell wall. Is made principally of cellulose, a kind of carbohydrate, and its function is to protect the cell.
