Question

name two organelles in a plant cell that contain their own genetic material and ribosomes. ​

Answer 1

Mitochondria produce the energy currency, i.e., ATP of the cell. Mitochondria take nutrients and convert them into energy molecules. This process is known as 'oxidative phosphorylation'. Mitochondria are called as power house of the cell.

Chloroplast is one of the type of plastids and is involved in carrying out photosynthesis. It converts the light energy to chemical energy, i.e., 6 CO
