Is it possible today for a eukaryotic cell to live without mitochondria or chloroplasts? Choose the best answer below.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

No because cells need energy. Chloroplasts and Mitochondria are the only organelles that can deliver this energy to the cell.

ANSWER:

The correct option is C: No, "eukaryotic cells" cannot live without chloroplast and mitochondria; they provide energy for the cells to survive.

EXPLANATION:

  • Mitochondria are the "power house" of the cells and provide energy to the cells and the different organelles for their survival and functioning.
  • Chloroplasts help the cells to make their food which provides the energy to the entire cell. Chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis.
  • If these organelles are not present in cells, the cells will not get the required energy to do their tasks and so the cell will not be able to survive.
