Identify the organelle which is commonly seen in both plant cell and animal cell.
Mitochondria
The correct option is C.
Explanation of the correct option :
1. Mitochondria are rod-shaped double-layered membranes that provide the site for cellular respiration.
2. As a result of cellular respiration, energy currency will be produced in the form of adenosine triphosphate, thus known as the 'Powerhouse of the cell.'
3. Mitochondria is present in the cytoplasm of both plants and animals.
4. Further, they imply major commonalities in plants and animals like regulation and energy production, and they are the primary center for energy production.
Explanation of the incorrect options :
Option A :
1. Centriole is a cylindrical cellular organelle found only in animal cells.
2. During cell division, two centrioles come together with some special proteins and form the centrosome, which organizes microtubules and pulls chromatids during cell division.
Option B :
Tonoplast is the membrane that surrounds the vacuoles. It is present in both plants and animals, but it is not an organelle.
Final answer: Mitochondria is commonly seen in both plant cells and animal cell.
