Which of the following is correct? Plant Cells____________
a. They do not need chloroplasts because their mitochondria meet their energy needs
b. They have chloroplasts and mitochondria
c. They use CO2 but do not use oxygen
d. They do not need mitochondria because their chloroplasts meet their energy meeds.
ANSWER ) b. They have chloroplasts and mitochondria
EXPLANATION
The chloroplast is required for photosynthesis where the energy from sunlight is converted in chemical energy that is NADPH and ATP which is further used for production sugar as energy source. During day time the light is present so most of energy is formed through photosynthesis in chloroplast while during night time also energy is required which is fulfilled by cellular respiration. Cellular respiration occur in mitochondria producing energy. Thus both chloroplast and mitochondria is present in the plant cell.
