A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/11/O/N/24

Explanation
Double-membraned organelles shared between plant and animal cells
Steps:
- List double-membraned structures in plant cells: nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts.
- Determine presence in animal cells: nucleus and mitochondria are present; chloroplasts are absent.
- Exclude plant-specific structures like chloroplasts.
- Count shared structures: two (nucleus and mitochondria).
Why B is correct:
- Nucleus and mitochondria are the only double-membraned organelles defined as universal in eukaryotic cells, including both plant and animal types.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Misses the second shared organelle (mitochondria).
- C: Includes plant-exclusive chloroplasts.
- D: Exceeds actual shared organelles; no additional double-membraned structures exist in both.
Final answer: B
