It takes the products of photosynthesis and uses cellular respiration to produce ATP, but it does not take part in the actual reactions of photosynthesis. The mitochondrion can, however, give carbon dioxide to the chloroplasts, so it is able to give reactants to the process.

Does the mitochondrion perform photosynthesis?

No. Photosynthesis occurs in cell organelles termed as the chloroplasts. Mitochondria is the cell organelle where energy is produced by oxidation of molecules such as sugars produced during photosynthesis. Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondrion.

Does plants are able to carry out photosynthesis because they contain the organelle knows as a mitochondrion?

No, plants carry out photosynthesis because they contain chloroplasts, not mitochondria. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, while mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration.


If plants have chloroplasts which enable them to carry out photosynthesis, why do they have a mitochondria. Answer must include an explanation of what the products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are?

Mitochondrion release ATP energy in the food they are provided using cellular respiration, while Chloroplasts use photosynthesis to create glucose.


Which organelles must be present within a cell of a geranium leaf for respiration and photosynthesis?

For respiration, the mitochondria are essential as they are responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP. For photosynthesis, chloroplasts are required as they contain chlorophyll which captures sunlight to drive the process of producing glucose. Both processes are crucial for plant cells to produce energy and sustain life.
