What are the functions of chloroplast and mitocondria?

Answer 1

Are the power plants that produce energy for important life processes in the animal cell and are responsible for cellular respiration.

Chloroplast is a structure in plant cell. They are filled with chlorophyll, which uses Sun's energy to combine water, carbon dioxide, and nutrients from the soil into sugar. This is the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplast is only found in plant cell.

Answer 2

The principal function of a mitochondrion is to perform cellular respiration, which means to take energy from organic sources and change it to a form that the rest of the cell can use.

The principal function of a chloroplast is to perform photosynthesis, which means to capture light energy and store it in a form that is usable by the rest of the cell.

Answer 3

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy by producing glucose. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration, breaking down glucose to produce energy for the cell.

Answer 4

Photosynthesis is carried out in chloroplasts. Mitochondria is responsible for cellular respiration.
