Answer 1

Answer:

(B)

Explanation:

Most of the energy is produced in the mitochondria through the process of oxidative phosphorylation during aerobic respiration. Hence, mitochondria is called powerhouse of cell. Energy is also produced through glycolysis and anaerobic fermentation in cytoplasm but major energy production occurs in mitochondria through aerobic respiration. Chloroplasts have green pigment chlorophyll and carry out the process of photosynthesis which results in production of sugars. This sugar forms food for plant themselves and all the heterotrophic organism. Hence, chloroplast are called 'Kitchen of cell'.
