Question

Which of following is not common in chloroplast and mitochondria?

• A. Both are present in animal cells
• B. Both contain their own genetic material
• C. Both are present in eukaryotic cells
• D. Both are present in plant cells

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both are present in animal cells

Chloroplast is an organelle which is present in plant cells and green algae and carries out photosynthesis that converts light energy to chemical energy. It contains a pigment called chlorophyll and hence is green in color. This organelle is exclusively present in plant cells.

On the other hand, mitochondria are organelles present in both plant and animal cells and their primary function is to regulate cellular metabolism and cellular respiration to provide the organism with energy.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Both are present in animal cells'.
