Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis.Mitochondria are for respiration.

∙ 13y agoWell plant cells need chloroplasts because that's where photosynthesis takes place. Also they need mitochondria because that's where cellular respiration takes place.

∙ 14y agoChloroplasts help the cell use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar, the basic source of energy for all living things.
Mitochondria help the plant utilize it own food for life energy.

∙ 11y agoChloroplast is said to be the food factory while a mitochondria is called usually as power house of the cell. both the organelles are important equally to the cell as chloroplast is the site where photosynthesis occurs in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Mitochondria is the area where cellular respiration occures which generates necessary energy in the form of ATPs for the cell.

∙ 9y agoThe two organelles have completely different functions. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis. Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration and ATP production. The glucose produced by the chloroplasts is used during aerobic respiration.

Why must plant cells have both mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Plants need both mitochondria and chloroplasts to maintain a healthy plant. The mitochondria power the plant when the chlorophyll is stunted by lack of sunlight.
Do plant cell have chloroplasts and mitochondria?
yes they have both but animal cells do not have chloroplasts
What type of cell contains mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis are the two types of cells that contain choloplasts.
Do both plant and animal cells have Mitochondria?
Absolutely. The mitochondria are the basic energy creating organelles for the cell. Without them, the cell would die. A plant cell could probably survive off its chloroplasts, but its definently not a given.
Chloroplasts and mitochondria are?
They are eukaryotic organells.Chloroplast conducts photosynthesis.Respiration take place in mitochondria.
Are both chloroplasts and mitochondria found in plant and animal cell?
Im sure that Chloroplasts are only found in Plant cells and Mitochondria found in Animal Cells and Plant cells

What is the manufacturers of the cell?
Mitochondria in animal Cells, and within both mitochondria and chloroplasts in plant Cells.
Are mitochondria and chloroplasts both found in all eukaryotic Cells?
No; Chloroplasts are only found in plant Cells.

Why do plant cells need both chloroplasts and michondria?
Chloroplasts are needed for photosynthesis. Mitochondria is needed for respiration
Does plantae have chloroplast or mitochondria?
ALL plant cells have chloroplast - Not ALL plant cells have chloroplasts. I'm actually studying this in my college Biology class right now. "Chloroplast is an organelle that specializes in photosyntheses.." Therefore cholorplast is found in plant cells that receive light. You won't however find chloroplast in plant cells underground (roots, bulbs, ect.) because light generally doesn't reach those cells. If somehow they become exposed to light though they may develop choloroplast. I hope that helps.
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.
Why do plant cell have chloroplast and animals do not?
Plants cells have chloroplasts because they need it for a process called photosynthesis. But both plant and animal cells have mitochondria. Animal cells can use the mitochondria to get energy that why they need chloroplast.
