Question

Which of the following correctly compares the structures of plant and animal cells?

Both plant and animal cells have a large central vacuole where enzymes, nutrients, and waste are stored.

Both plant and animal cells have ribosomes which synthesize proteins for the cell.

Both plant and animal cells have a nucleus where cellular respiration takes place.

Both plant and animal cells have cell walls which transport substances into and out of the cell.

Answer 1

Option). Both plant and animal cells have ribosomes which synthesize proteins for the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ribosomes are complex cell organelles found in cells of all living organisms, including plants and animals. Ribosomes are known as machinery for protein synthesis as they provide site for the process of translation (protein synthesis).

During translation, ribosomes connect amino acids in growing peptide chain in specific order determined by messenger RNA molecules. Hence, both the plant cells and animal cells have ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Thus, the correct answer is second option.

Answer 2

"Both plant and animal cells have ribosomes which synthesize proteins for the cell" is the one among the following choices given in the question that correctly compares the structures of plant and animal cells. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option.
