What are 2-3 differences between the electron transport chain in the mitochondria compared to the chloroplast?

Chloroplast converts light energy into chemical energy, whereas mitochondria converts chemical energy into a different chemical energy. Chloroplast is present in plants and mitochondria is present in all cells


What is converted in both the mitochondria and the chloroplasts?

Energy is converted in them.In mitochondria chemical energy is kept as chemical enery but carrier changed.In chloroplast light energy stored as chemical energy.


Which two organelles convert energy?

The two organelles that convert energy are the mitochondria, which generate ATP through cellular respiration, and the chloroplasts, which produce energy through photosynthesis in plant cells.


Does chloroplast create energy?

No they do not create. Chlorophyll convert energy,light energy into chemical energy


What similarities do mitochondria and chloroplast?

They both present in plant cells, where they work together to capture and convert energy. That is it.


How do chloroplast and mitochondria function in the capture and release of energy within the cell?

The chloroplast is in plant cells and takes light and oxygen to create energy for the plant. The mitochondria is in animal cells and takes carbon dioxide and water to create sugar for the cell.


Which is more appropriate description for mitochondria and chloroplasts- energy transformers or energy producers why?

Chloroplast transform light energy into chemical energy.So it is an energy transferer.


How do chloroplast help the mitochondria function?

Mitochondria use glucose as fuel.Glucose are produced in chloroplast.


What does chloroplast convert?

Light energy into chemical energy.Energy of sun light is stored in glucose.


What organelle coverts light energy in chemical energy?

Chloroplasts are the organelles that convert light energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.


What are differences between the mitochondria and chloroplast?

Chloroplasts use visible light to fix carbon (obtained from carbon dioxide) into sugars. They are found in plants as well as small organisms.Mitochondria break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and create energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.the mitochondria change chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use while the chloroplast is the only organelle that can trap the energy of sunlight and convert it into chemical energy.


In plants mitochondria use light energy to make sugar?

No it is not mitochondria. It is the chloroplast
