Mitochondrion
B
Lysosome
C
Centrosome
D
Chloroplast
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelles listed in the options and recall their primary functions in the cell.
Understand that mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells and are responsible for cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
Recognize that lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste removal, present mainly in animal cells.
Know that centrosomes are involved in organizing microtubules during cell division and are found in animal cells.
Recall that chloroplasts are unique to plant cells and some algae, and they carry out photosynthesis by converting light energy into chemical energy.
