What organelles are found in plant and animal cells?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the organelles found in plant and animal cells, specifically focusing on mitochondria and ribosomes, their functions, and why mitochondria are referred to as the powerhouses of the cell.
Answer
Mitochondria, nucleus, ribosomes, ER, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane.
Plant and animal cells both contain mitochondria, a nucleus, ribosomes, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane.
Answer for screen readers
Plant and animal cells both contain mitochondria, a nucleus, ribosomes, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane.
More Information
Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic and share several key organelles essential for cellular function and maintaining life processes.
Tips
A common mistake is to assume plant cells have all the same organelles as animal cells, forgetting specific plant ones like chloroplasts.
