which statement about plant and animal cells is true?
both have a cell wall to give them support.
both have a large vacuole to store water
both use mitochondria to release energy
both use chloroplasts to store energy.
Brief Explanations
To determine the correct statement about plant and animal cells:
- Analyze each option:
- "Both have a cell wall to give them support": Animal cells lack a cell wall, so this is false.
- "Both have a large vacuole to store water": Animal cells typically have small or no large vacuoles, while plant cells have a large central vacuole. So this is false.
- "Both use mitochondria to release energy": Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell in both plant and animal cells, carrying out cellular respiration to release energy. This is true.
- "Both use chloroplasts to store energy": Animal cells do not have chloroplasts (chloroplasts are for photosynthesis in plant cells), so this is false.
