Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Mitochondria and chloroplast are organelles found in a plant cell. However, the chloroplast is absent in an animal cell, but mitochondria is found in both. Mitochondria generates energy for the cell in the form of ATP using oxygen and nutrients. Chloroplast is the site for photosynthesis in a plant cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: The “Mitochondria and chloroplasts may be found in the same cell” statement is true regarding mitochondria and chloroplast.
Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: “The enzymes of the electron transfer chain embedded in the outer membrane” statement regarding the mitochondrial membrane is not correct.
Detailed explanation-5: -In eukaryotes, reactions responsible of the conversion of light into chemical energy occur in specific organelles, the chloroplasts. In this study, we showed that mitochondria also have a seminal influence on cells’ energy metabolism and on photosynthetic reactions.
