Question

can you match the characteristics with the correct organelle? sort each structure or function depending on whether it describes a chloroplast or a mitochondrion. organelle of photosynthesis produces o₂ as a waste product organelle of cellular respiration produces co₂ as a waste product harvests chemical energy from food contains thylakoids found in both animal cells and plant cells found only in plant cells and some algae converts solar energy to chemical energy chloroplast mitochondrion

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis, convert solar energy to chemical energy, produce O₂ as a waste - product, contain thylakoids and are found only in plant cells and some algae. Mitochondria are the organelles of cellular respiration, harvest chemical energy from food, produce CO₂ as a waste - product and are found in both animal cells and plant cells.

Answer:

Chloroplast: organelle of photosynthesis, produces O₂ as a waste product, contains thylakoids, found only in plant cells and some algae, converts solar energy to chemical energy
Mitochondrion: organelle of cellular respiration, produces CO₂ as a waste product, harvests chemical energy from food, found in both animal cells and plant cells
