Some organelles are present in both plant and animal cells. Each organelle performs a different function. Which of the functions listed below are performed by organelles found in both plants and animals?

• Convert solar energy into chemical energy; store DNA; provide a rigid outer membrane that gives the cell support.

• Support the cell from the inside; provide a rigid outer membrane that gives the cell support; break down chemical energy.

• Break down chemical energy; store DNA; provide a permeable barrier for the cell.

• Provide a liquid medium that protects and sustains other organelles; support the cell from the inside; convert solar energy into chemical energy.
