Why is the process that takes place in a mitochondrion often described as being the opposite of the process taht takes place in a chloroplast?
because there not the same
Why is the process that takes place in a mitochandrian often described as being the opposite of the process that takes place in a chloroplast?
I'm not sure if it's accurate to say that the process that takes place in the mitochondria is in fact the opposite of what takes place in the chloroplast. Rather, I would say that the biochemical process of cellular respiration (which partially takes place in the mitochondria) is the opposite of the biochemical process of photosynthesis (which does take place in the chloroplast). In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to breakdown carbohydrates for energy and carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct. In photosynthesis the energy of sunlight is absorbed by the synthesis of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen is released as a byproduct. Thus cellular respiration and photosynthesis can be described as opposite processes. However, the process of cellular respiration does not occur exclusively in the mitochondria but occurs in part in the cytoplasm, so I think it's more accurate to say that cellular respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis than mitochondria have the opposite function of chloroplasts.
What chemical process may be described as the opposite of respiration?
Photosynthesis is considered as the opposite of respiration.
What process takes place in the chloroplast?
Photosynthesis
The process that goes on in the chloroplast of plant cell's as a source of food is called?
The process that goes on in the chloroplast of plant cell's as a source of food is called Photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is considered as the opposite of respiration.
What process in chloroplast?
photosynphesis
Why is the process that takes place in a mitochondrion often described as being the opposite of the process that takes place in a chloroplast?
Because the reactions involved are opposite. In cellular respiration (occurs in mitochondrion), glucose reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. In photosynthesis (which occurs in chloroplasts) carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose and give off oxygen.The chemical processes are opposites with regard to the reactants and products, with respiration releasing energy and photosynthesis storing energy.
What is a job of the chloroplast them?
It is a process with many reactions. The process making carbohydrates.
What process occurred in chloroplast?
photosynphesis
What process takes place in the chloroplast?
Photosynthesis
The process that goes on in the chloroplast of plant cell's as a source of food is called?
The process that goes on in the chloroplast of plant cell's as a source of food is called Photosynthesis.
What is the process occurs in chloroplast?
That is the photosynthesis. It is to produce food
Why is the process that takes place in a mitochandrion often described as being the opposite of the proces that takes place in the chloroplasts?
I dont know I have the same question.
What happens in chloroplats?
chloroplast is a organelle that is in the process of photosynthesis
