Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photosynthesis occurs in the ____ while cellular respiration occurs in the ____
A
Chloroplast; Vacuole
B
Vacuole; Mitochondria
C
Mitochondria; Chloroplast
D
Chloroplast; Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroplasts and mitochondria are organelles with a central role in energetic metabolism of photosynthetic organisms.
