Anna71 [15]

Answer:

chloroplasts and mitochondria.

Explanation:

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are the organelles capable of ATP production by photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation respectively. Chloroplasts are the site for photosynthesis. The light reactions of photosynthesis include splitting of the water molecule in presence of sunlight and transfer of electrons from PS-II to PS-I via electron carrier. During electron transport, a proton gradient is created which in turn drives ATP synthesis.  

Mitochondria are the site for aerobic stages of cellular respiration. Glycolysis and Kreb's cycle, the first and second stages of cellular respiration produce NADH and FADH2 during the redox reactions. These reducing powers are oxidized by giving their electrons to the terminal electron acceptor, the oxygen molecule.

Electrons from the reducing powers are carried to oxygen molecules via a series of electron carrier proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. During electron transport, an electrochemical gradient is created which in turn drives the ATP synthesis.

Suppose you use a microscope to look at a cell from the leaf of a tree. What structure will you see that would not be found in a
labwork [276]
Cell walls made of cellulose are present in plant cells. Human cells (skin, fingernails, muscle, etc.) do not have cell walls. Both plant and human fingernail cells have ribosomes and mitochondria. There are no cilia on either of the cells. Therefore, answer C is correct. Hope this helps! :)
