Mitochondria produce lots of energy, infact they are known as the power houses of the the cell, however chloroplasts capture the duns energy and turn it into food, chloroplasts also split water and release oxygen

∙ 9y agoYes, in some cases.
In many single-celled eukaryotes, their growth and division is linked to the cell cycle. For example, a single mitochondrion may divide synchronously with the nucleus.
In other eukaryotes (in mammals for example), mitochondria may replicate their DNA and divide mainly in response to the energy needs of the cell, rather than in phase with the cell cycle.
It can occur during the S phase of the mitotic cycle and even through out the mitotic cycle.
In single cell algae the chloroplast and the mitochondria divide first before cytokinesis.

∙ 8y agoYES! Mitochondria reproduce by binary fission. This is seen when a cell is normally replicating itself (the resulting daughter cells have the same numbers of mitochondria), and also when muscle fibers are asked to do more work over a period of time; therefore, the number of mitochondria must increase to keep up with the workload need for energy.

What statement fails to support the endosymbiotic theory?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts reproduce independently from the cell.
What organelles provide the Cell with usable energy?
The mitochondria and chloroplasts. The mitochondria makes ATP that is then used in cell processes and chloroplasts use light energy to make carbohydrates that can be used for energy by the cell
Which do animal cells not have a mitochondria chloroplasts a nucleus or a cell membrane?
All animal cells have a nucleus and mitochondria. The cell you are describing is a prokaryotic cell, such as a bacterium.
Name any two organelles that are self-replicating?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts.
What structures can be found in the plant cell but not in the animal cell is it chloroplasts mitochondria ribosomes or vacuoles?
chloroplasts and vacuoles
What statement fails to support the endosymbiotic theory?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts reproduce independently from the cell.
What is the manufacturers of the cell?
Mitochondria in animal Cells, and within both mitochondria and chloroplasts in plant Cells.
What organelles provide the Cell with usable energy?
The mitochondria and chloroplasts. The mitochondria makes ATP that is then used in cell processes and chloroplasts use light energy to make carbohydrates that can be used for energy by the cell
Why do animal cells not have chloraplast?
Chloroplasts (as well as Mitochondria) are endosymbionts. This means that they are cells, living within another cell. Historically, eukaryotic cells had no mitochondria or chloroplasts (and mitochondria and chloroplasts existed by themselves outside of cells). The current hypothesis is that a cell tried to engulf a mitochondria (by phagocytosis) but failed in digesting it. Over time, some of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) became part of the host cell's genome. This cell is a common ancestor to both plants and animals, which is why both have mitochondria. A cell with mitochondria then did the same thing with chloroplasts, absorbing one, and taking some of its ctDNA etc. Because not all cells that had mitochondria absorbed chloroplasts there were cells with mitochondria only, and cells with mitochondria and chloroplasts. The ones with chloroplasts evolved to become plant cells, and those without evolved to become animal cells.
What parts of a cell do scientists think were once free-living organisms?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have once been a free prokaryotic cell.
What do mitochondria and chloroplasts do for a cell?
mitochondria provide power for cells chloroplasts provide food for cells by photosynthesis
Which do animal cells not have a mitochondria chloroplasts a nucleus or a cell membrane?
All animal cells have a nucleus and mitochondria. The cell you are describing is a prokaryotic cell, such as a bacterium.
Name any two organelles that are self-replicating?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Which organelle represents an exception to the cell theory because it contains genetic material and can reproduce within the cell?
mitochondria
How do chloroplasts and mitochondria work together in a plant cell?
Mitochondria are the part of the cell that produce the energy-providing ATP. Chloroplasts turn the energy from the sunlight into glucose, which fuels the mitochondria.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are an example of this?
Parts of a cell.
The mitochondria and chloroplasts are examples of this?
Parts of the cell
