Question
which represents a structure that is associated with a plant cell but not an animal cell?
o a mitochondrion
o b. ribosome
o c. chloroplast
o d. plasma membrane
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells (and some algae) that are responsible for photosynthesis. They are not present in animal cells. Mitochondria (A) are found in both plant and animal cells (they are the power - houses of the cell). Ribosomes (B) are also present in both types of cells as they are involved in protein synthesis. The plasma membrane (D) is a common feature of all cells (plant, animal, prokaryotic etc.) as it encloses the cell and regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
