The mitochondria in eukaryotic cells is most similar in function to which of the following:
a.) military base
b.) power plant
c.) factory
d.) drawbridge

The correct answer is B) Power plant.

Mitochondria is a specialized membrane bound organelle present in all eukaryotic cells ( like plant and animal cell). It is considered as the power house of the cell because it is the site for the synthesis of large amount of chemical energy in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) , which is also called energy currency of the cell.  ATP is thus used for driving various metabolic processes in the cell.

A power plant is also called power house as it is used to generate large amount of electrical power. The electrical power thus generated is widely used.

Thus, mitochondria is most similar in function to Power plant.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
