Chloroplast vs. Mitochondria

Front

What is the main function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, capturing sunlight and converting it into chemical energy.

Front

Which organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What pigment is found in chloroplasts that helps in photosynthesis?

Back

Front

In which type of cells are mitochondria found?

Back

Mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells.

Front

What is the process called by which plants convert sunlight into food?

Back

The process is called photosynthesis.

Front

What do mitochondria convert into usable energy?

Back
