Question

When comparing mitochondria and chloroplasts in plant cells, which statement BEST explains a similarity in the cellular function of these organelles
A
These organelles are both important for the uptake of nutrients from the cell's exterior.
B
These organelles are both important in the regulated transport of molecules within cells.
с
These organelles are both important for the conversion of energy to a usable form for cells.
D These organelles are both important for the use of cellular genetic information to make proteins.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - с. These organelles are both important for the conversion of energy to a usable form for cells.

Explanation:

Chloroplast and mitochondria are the two organelles that are essential for the biosphere specially autotrophs like plants and heterotrophs as chloroplast is the organelle that converts light energy into chemical energy by forming sugars by the process called photosynthesis by trapping the sunlight.

This chemical energy that is stored in glucose molecule moves to the mitochondria where by the procee of the cellular respiration the chemical energy converted to the ATP, the energy form that is used by the cell for the performing its function.
