Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Organelles that use energy from sunlight to produce food are called mitochondria
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are the working organelles that keep the cell full of energy. In a plant cell, chloroplast makes sugar during the process of photosynthesis converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The following statement is true about the mitochondrion of a cell: d) It is where cellular respiration occurs. The mitochondria is often called the “powerhouse” of the cell, because the process of cellular respiration releases energy that can be used for other cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, whereas cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis makes glucose and oxygen, which are then used as the starting products for cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
