Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the question is asking which organelle is common to both plant and animal cells.
Step 2: Recall the functions and presence of each organelle listed: Central vacuole (mostly in plant cells), Chloroplast (only in plant cells), Cell wall (only in plant cells).
Step 3: Identify that mitochondria are organelles responsible for energy production and are found in both plant and animal cells.
Step 4: Conclude that the mitochondrion is the organelle present in both types of eukaryotic cells.
Step 5: Remember that mitochondria generate ATP through cellular respiration, a process essential to both plant and animal cells.
