Mitochondria produce lots of energy, infact they are known as the power houses of the the cell, however chloroplasts capture the duns energy and turn it into food, chloroplasts also split water and release oxygen

Name any two organelles that are self-replicating?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts.


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.


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.


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?

What organelle may survive and reproduce independently of a cell?

Mitochondria are organelles that were once free-living bacteria. They can survive and reproduce independently in certain conditions, suggesting they have retained some autonomy from the host cell.

How are chloroplasts and mitochondria similar to bacteria?

Chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own DNA and ribosomes, similar to bacteria. They also reproduce independently within the cell through a process resembling binary fission, just like bacteria. Additionally, both organelles are thought to have originated from endosymbiotic relationships with ancient bacterial cells.


How did mitochondria and chloroplasts most likely arise in eukaryotic cells?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts most likely arose in eukaryotic cells through a process called endosymbiosis, where a host cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell. Over time, the prokaryotic cell evolved to become an organelle within the host cell, forming a symbiotic relationship. This theory is supported by the similarities between mitochondria and chloroplasts and modern-day bacteria.


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.
