Verified
Mitochondria ____.
A) have two membranes, both of which are highly folded
B) are least abundant in metabolically active cells
C) are present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
D) carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration
E) have their own DNA and ribosomes and divide independently of the cell
Cellular Respiration
The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water, releasing energy to power cell functions.
Photosynthesis
The process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria transform light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, using carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
Own DNA
Refers to the self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes, holding genetic information.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Mitochondria have their own DNA and ribosomes and divide independently of the cell. They also have a double membrane, are only present in eukaryotic cells, and carry out cellular respiration (not photosynthesis). They are more abundant in metabolically active cells.
