Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ells need both chloroplasts and mitochondria to undergo both photosynthesis AND cell respiration. After photosynthesis, which chloroplasts are needed for, which yields oxygen and glucose, plants need to break down the glucose and they use cell respiration to do this, which happens in the mitochondria.
