Question

The function of mitochondria and chloroplasts is related to energy. In what way does their function differ? A. Mitochondria produce energy in prokaryotic cells, while chloroplasts produce energy in eukaryotic cells. B. Mitochondria produce energy from food, while chloroplasts produce food from the Sun’s energy. C. In plants, mitochondria provide energy in non-green cells, while chloroplasts provide energy to cells in parts of the plant that are green. D. Mitochondria provide energy in the night, while chloroplasts provide energy in the day. E. Mitochondria provide energy from food synthesized by organelles other than chloroplasts, while chloroplasts provide energy through photosynthesis using the Sun’s energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

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

Explanation:

• The organelles known as chloroplasts are present in the cells of algae and other plants, including broccoli. In the tissues of the plant, they absorb light energy and store it as fuel molecules.
• You have mitochondria inside your cells, and plants also have them. They transform the energy held in broccoli (or other fuel) molecular molecules into a form the cell can utilize.
• Only plants and photosynthetic algae contain chloroplasts. (Neither humans nor other animals possess chloroplasts.) The photosynthetic process is carried out by the chloroplast.
• The mitochondria (plural: mitochondrion) are frequently referred to as the cell's powerhouses or energy manufacturers.
• Their task is to continuously produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy-transporting molecule in the cell.
• Cellular respiration is the name for the process of generating ATP utilizing chemical energy from fuels like glucose, and many of its phases take place inside the mitochondria.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).
