Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that organelles are specialized structures within cells that perform distinct functions.
Recall that lysosomes, ribosomes, and mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells, serving functions like digestion, protein synthesis, and energy production respectively.
Identify that chloroplasts are unique to plant cells and some protists, and are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
