What else can I help you with?
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
The mitochondria and chloroplasts are examples of this?
Parts of the cell
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are an example of this?
Parts of a cell.
Name any two organelles that are self-replicating?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Name 2 cell organelles having DNA?
The two cell organelles that have DNA are the mitochondria and the chloroplasts. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the cell, while chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis.
What type of cell has cell walls chloroplasts mitochondria and nuclei?
plant cell
What ways are chloroplasts and mitochondria alike?
They are part of a 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.
How do chloroplasts and mitochondria work together in a plant cell?
Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. Mitochondria then use this energy to generate ATP through cellular respiration. Together, they maintain the energy balance within the cell, with chloroplasts producing energy and mitochondria utilizing it efficiently.
Do plant cell have chloroplasts and mitochondria?
yes they have both but animal cells do not have chloroplasts
How are chloroplast like mitochondria?
Chloroplasts and mitochondria both supply energy to the cell.
