Plants need both mitochondria and chloroplasts to maintain a healthy plant. The mitochondria power the plant when the chlorophyll is stunted by lack of sunlight.

Are both chloroplasts and mitochondria found in plant and animal cell?

No, chloroplasts are found in plant cells where they are responsible for photosynthesis, while mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells where they are responsible for generating energy through respiration.


What is the manufacturers of the cell?

Mitochondria in animal Cells, and within both mitochondria and chloroplasts in plant Cells.


Do plant cell have chloroplasts and mitochondria?

yes they have both but animal cells do not have chloroplasts


Why do plant cells need both chloroplasts and michondria?

Chloroplasts are needed for photosynthesis. Mitochondria is needed for respiration


What type of cell contains mitochondria and chloroplasts?

Plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis are the two types of cells that contain choloplasts.


Are mitochondria and chloroplasts both found in all eukaryotic Cells?

No, both mitochondria and chloroplasts are not found in all eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria are found in all eukaryotic cells as the powerhouse of the cell, producing energy through cellular respiration. Chloroplasts, however, are only found in plant cells and some protists, where they perform photosynthesis to produce energy from sunlight.


What structures can be found in the plant cell but not in the animal cell is it chloroplasts mitochondria ribosomes or vacuoles?

Chloroplasts can be found in plant cells but not in animal cells. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color. Mitochondria, ribosomes, and vacuoles can be found in both plant and animal cells.


What cell has chloroplast and mitochondria?

Plant cells have both chloroplasts and mitochondria. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting light energy into sugar, while mitochondria produce energy for the cell through cellular respiration.


Does plantae have chloroplast or mitochondria?

ALL plant cells have chloroplast - Not ALL plant cells have chloroplasts. I'm actually studying this in my college Biology class right now. "Chloroplast is an organelle that specializes in photosyntheses.." Therefore cholorplast is found in plant cells that receive light. You won't however find chloroplast in plant cells underground (roots, bulbs, ect.) because light generally doesn't reach those cells. If somehow they become exposed to light though they may develop choloroplast. I hope that helps.


Chloroplasts and mitochondria are?

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that carry out photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy. Mitochondria are organelles found in animal and plant cells that produce energy through cellular respiration. Both organelles have their own DNA and are thought to have originated as free-living prokaryotic organisms that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells.


Which cells contain this organelle plant cell animal cell or both?

Both plant and animal cells contain mitochondria, which are the organelles responsible for energy production through cellular respiration. However, only plant cells possess chloroplasts, which are involved in photosynthesis. Therefore, while mitochondria are present in both cell types, chloroplasts are exclusive to plant cells.


Do both plant and animal cells have Mitochondria?

Absolutely. The mitochondria are the basic energy creating organelles for the cell. Without them, the cell would die. A plant cell could probably survive off its chloroplasts, but its definently not a given.
