____ Cellular respiration is to mitochondria as photosynthesis is to
A
osmosis.
B
. microtubules.
C
chloroplasts.
D
ribosomes
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: -Final answer: Cellular respiration is related to mitochondria as; photosynthesis is to chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of all organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are direct opposite reactions. Energy from the sun enters a plant and is converted into glucose during photosynthesis. Some of the energy is used to make ATP in the mitochondria during cellular respiration, and some is lost to the environment as heat.

Detailed explanation-5: -In plant cells, chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy, and mitochondria consume the chemical energy to produce ATP. The optimal carbon fixation and plant growth require these two energy-transforming organelles to perform strictly coordinated actions.
