NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mitochondrion and the chloroplast are both organelles that were once free-living cells. They were prokaryotes that ended up inside of other cells (host cells).

Detailed explanation-3: -In a plant cell, chloroplast makes sugar during the process of photosynthesis converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. In mitochondria, through the process of cellular respiration breaks down sugar into energy that plant cells can use to live and grow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both chloroplasts and mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles having their own DNA and protein-synthesizing mechanisms. Both of them help in the cytoplasmic inheritance of certain specific characters and both depend on nuclear genes for biosynthetic activities. Was this answer helpful?
