Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What organelles work together and handle cellular energy?
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplasts
C
Lysosomes
D
Cell Membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion) are often called the powerhouses or energy factories of the cell. Their job is to make a steady supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell’s main energy-carrying molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chloroplast works together with mitochondria and peroxisomes in photorespiration involving inter-organellar metabolite exchanges while the chloroplast tubular extensions, stromules, are thought to interact with the ER, mitochondria, and peroxisomes (Mathur et al., 2012; Hanson and Hines, 2018).

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria-often called the powerhouses of the cell-enable eukaryotes to make more efficient use of food sources than their prokaryotic counterparts. That’s because these organelles greatly expand the amount of membrane used for energy-generating electron transport chains.

Detailed explanation-4: –Chloroplasts and mitochondria don’t work together intentionally. But, the oxygen & glucose produced by photosynthesis, in the chloroplasts, are necessary for the mitochondria, so as to carry out aerobic cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.
