Answer:

They need both because they carry out both cell respiration and photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

They work together when the chloroplast makes sugar during photosynthesis and converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. Mitochondria uses the process of cellular respiration to break down sugar into energy that plants use in order to live and grow.
