No. photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts containing chlorophyll. our cells have mitochondria but not chloroplasts. Therefore, we can't photosynthesize as plants do.

Does photosynthesis take place in the mitochondria?

No, photosynthesis does not take place in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where it converts sunlight into energy in the form of glucose. Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP.

Do the reactions of photosynthesis occur in the mitochondria?

No. Mitochondria carry out cellular respiration. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts.


Where is photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, water, and light energy is turned into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen and turned into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As you can see, the are both really a big cycle.


Why do plant need both chloroplasts and mitochondria?

Plants need mitochondria and chloroplasts because of their photosynthetic ability. Without these two major key organisms, this important process could not take place. The chloroplasts are where photosynthesis actually takes place, so without them, photosynthesis wouldn't have a place to occur or wouldn't happen at all! Mitochondria generates ATP/energy for photosynthesis through respiration. In conclusion, all parts of the cell are important!


In which organism does respiration not take place in the mitochondria?

Respiration does not take place in the mitochondria of bacteria.
