Cortez Mccormick · Answer 1

The answer is A because only mitochondrion produce ATP and plant cells have both mitochondrion and chloroplasts.

Troy Barnett · Answer 2

(B) Plant and animal cells both carry out aerobic respiration, producing ATP.

Explanation:

Aerobic cellular respiration occurs mainly in eukaryotic cells (Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus and organelles, and are enclosed by a plasma membrane). The process of aerobic cellular respiration takes place mostly inside of the mitochondria, an organelle that is known as the powerhouse of the cell.

There are three main stages to get from food molecules to ATP (Adenosine triphosphate is a complex organic chemical that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells) : glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain.
