Question

describe the function of chloroplast and mitochondria?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mitochondria are the "powerhouses" of the cell, breaking down fuel molecules and capturing energy in cellular respiration.

Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They're responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Hope it will help you

Answer 2

Answer:-

Firstly we have to know what is Chloroplast and mitochondria.

_________________________

What is Chloroplast:

• Chloroplasts are small organelles inside the cells of plants and algae. They absorb light to make sugar in a process called photosynthesis.
• Chloroplasts contain the molecule chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

Functions of chloroplast:

• The most important function of the chloroplast is to synthesize food by the process of photosynthesis.
• Absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy.
• Chloroplast has a structure called chlorophyll which functions by trapping the solar energy and used for the synthesis of food in all green plants.

What is mitochondria:

• The mitochondria is also known as "Power house house of the cell"
• The mitochondrion is a double membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms. Some cells in some multicellular organisms lack mitochondria.

Functions of mitochondria:

• Regulates the metabolic activity of the cell
• Promotes the growth of new cells and cell multiplication
• Helps in detoxifying ammonia in the liver cells
• Plays an important role in apoptosis or programmed cell death
• Responsible for building certain parts of the blood and various hormones like testosterone and oestrogen
• Helps in maintaining an adequate concentration of calcium ions within the compartments of the cell
• It is also involved in various cellular activities like cellular differentiation, cell signalling, cell senescence, controlling the cell cycle and also in cell growth.
