Answer:

Heyyy

Plant cells require chloroplasts for the process of photosynthesis and to store food energy. And most leaves appear green due to this organelle present in it.

Whereas mitochondria present in both the plant and animal cells to produce the energy necessary for the cell's survival and functioning.

Hope it helps! :)
