Which combination of organelles is usually present in both animal and plant cells?
Correct answer: D. Mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes
- A. Golgi complex, plastids, mitochondria
- B. Plastids, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum
- C. Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, centrioles
- D. Mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes
Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: Mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes. These organelles are essential and found in both plant and animal cells. Mitochondria generate energy, the endoplasmic reticulum facilitates protein and lipid synthesis, and ribosomes are critical for protein production. In contrast, plastids (Options A and B) are specific to plant cells, and centrioles (Option C) are primarily found in animal cells, making these options incorrect for both cell types.
