Question

select all the true statements.
in an animal cell, mitochondria store sugar, and vacuoles break down the sugar to release energy.
both the chromosomes and the vacuoles are outside the nucleus of plant cells.
animal cells do not have mitochondria, but plant cells can have them.
in plant cells, vacuoles store sugar, and mitochondria break down the sugar to release energy.

Explanation:

• Mitochondria function: Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell. In both plant and animal cells, mitochondria break down sugar (through cellular respiration) to release energy in the form of ATP.
• Vacuoles in plant cells: In plant cells, vacuoles store substances like water, nutrients (including some sugars in some cases), and waste products.
• Mitochondria in animal and plant cells: Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria. Animal cells do have mitochondria (the statement "Animal cells do not have mitochondria..." is false).
• Location of chromosomes and vacuoles: Chromosomes are located inside the nucleus, and vacuoles are outside the nucleus in plant cells.

Answer:

• "In plant cells, vacuoles store sugar, and mitochondria break down the sugar to release energy."
• "Both the chromosomes and the vacuoles are outside the nucleus of plant cells."
