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 is the process that takes place in a chloroplast and the mitochondrion?
Dark reaction take place in stroma.Light reaction take place in thylakoid membranes.
What chemical process may be described as the opposite of respiration?
Photosynthesis is considered as the opposite of respiration.
What is the cell structure involve in the entire process of cellular respiration?
Mitochondrion
What process takes place in the chloroplast?
Photosynthesis
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.

Photosynthesis is considered as the opposite of respiration.
Which of these was not derived from an ancestral alpha proteobacterium?
Answer Choices: A) mitosome B) kinetoplast C) chloroplast D) hydrogenosome E) mitochondrion Answer:C) chloroplast Explanation: Chloroplasts are not related to all the other choices. Mitochondria, kinetoplasts, mitosomes, and hydrogenosomes are similar in that they both deal with cellular respiration, regardless of whether it is aerobic or anaerobic. On the other hand, chloroplasts deal with photosynthesis, a process which is the complete opposite of cellular respiration.
What process in chloroplast?
photosynphesis
Which life process is related to the mitochondrion?
cellular respiration/respiration
What is the cell structure involve in the entire process of cellular respiration?
Mitochondrion
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.
