Question

amoeba sisters: video recap photosynthesis and cellular respiration comparison if chloroplasts and mitochondria could speak if chloroplasts and mitochondria could only speak! decide whether each quote could be stated by a chloroplast (label “c”), mitochondria (label “m”), or both organelles (label “c, m”). 7. ____ my main goal is to produce a lot of atp energy. 8. __ i contain pigments to help capture light energy. 9. __ oxygen gas production will happen within me. 10. __ i can be found in plant cells. 11. __ i can be found in animal cells. 12. __ carbon dioxide gas production will happen within me. 13. __ muscle cells would contain a lot of me. 14. __ water production will happen within me. 15. __ glucose production will happen within me. 16. __ i would be found within a photosynthetic protist. 17. __ i am the site of aerobic cellular respiration. 18. __ krebs and the electron transport chain both happen within me. 19. __ i contain chlorophyll. 20. ____ the calvin cycle happens within me.

Explanation:

• 7. M: Mitochondria produce ATP through cellular respiration.
• 8. C: Chloroplasts have pigments like chlorophyll to capture light.
• 9. C: Oxygen is produced in chloroplasts during photosynthesis.
• 10. C, M: Both chloroplasts (in plant cells) and mitochondria are in plant cells.
• 11. M: Mitochondria are in animal cells (chloroplasts are not).
• 12. M: Carbon dioxide is produced in mitochondria during cellular respiration.
• 13. M: Muscle cells need a lot of ATP, so many mitochondria.
• 14. M: Water is produced in mitochondria during cellular respiration.
• 15. C: Glucose is produced in chloroplasts during photosynthesis.
• 16. C: Chloroplasts are in photosynthetic protists.
• 17. M: Mitochondria are the site of aerobic cellular respiration.
• 18. M: Krebs cycle and Electron Transport Chain occur in mitochondria.
• 19. C: Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll.
• 20. C: Calvin Cycle occurs in chloroplasts.
