CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photosynthesis is to chloroplasts as cellular respiration is to ____
A
mitochondria
B
cytoplasm
C
chloroplasts
D
nuclei
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is to chloroplasts as cellular respiration is to mitochondria. Chloroplasts are the part of a plant that contain chlorophyll and make it possible for the plant to perform photosynthesis. Mitochondria are the organelle of a cell responsible for the creation of ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis makes glucose which is used in cellular respiration for making ATP. The glucose is then transformed back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. It helps cells to release and store energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs. Mitochondria are the organelles that convert the energy in food into ATP to be used as chemical energy by the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of each cell of the body. Glycolysis occurs inside the cytoplasm, while the TCA cycle occurs inside the matrix of the mitochondria.
