Question

Name the two organelles in a plant cell that contain their genetic material and ribosomes.

Answer 1

Organelles:

The specialized compositions, which do different activities within the cells are known as organelles.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts:

1. These are the two organelles found within the cells of plants, which comprise their genetic information and ribosomes.
2. An intercellular composition formed of both RNA and protein and is the site for the synthesis of protein within a cell is a ribosome.
3. Within the mitochondria and chloroplasts, the 70S ribosomes are present.
4. The mitochondria are considered the powerhouses of the cell as they are accountable for the synthesis of ATP in bulk within the cell.
5. The chlorophyll-containing region of the cell where the process of photosynthesis takes place is known as the chloroplast.
