Question

The function of mitochondria and chloroplasts is related to energy. In what way does their function differ?

Mitochondria produce energy in prokaryotic cells, while chloroplasts produce energy in eukaryotic cells.

Mitochondria produce energy from food, while chloroplasts produce food from the Sun’s energy.

In plants, mitochondria provide energy in non-green cells, while chloroplasts provide energy to cells in parts of the plant that are green.

Mitochondria provide energy in the night, while chloroplasts provide energy in the day.

Mitochondria provide energy from food synthesized by organelles other than chloroplasts, while chloroplasts provide energy through photosynthesis using the Sun’s energy.

which one would be the answer please help and thank you.

Answer 1

The Mitochondria gets it energy from food. While the chloroplast get there food from the suns energy through the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplast are also what make the plant leaves green.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is -

Mitochondria produce energy from food, while chloroplasts produce food from the Sun’s energy.

Mitochondria is a specialised membrane bound organelle that is present in the eukaryotes (such as plant and animals) and it is considered as the power house of the cells. It helps in the generation of large amount of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through cellular respiration (that depicts complete oxidation of food, such as glucose).

Chloroplast is a membrane bound organelle, which is present in the photosynthetic organsisms such as green plants and algae. It is the site for photosynthesis, which is a process of formation of food using sunlight in the presence of carbon dioxide and water.

Thus, second option is the right answer.
