Question
all cells have parts that work together to carry out functions necessary for life. the information below describes the functions of some parts of a plant cell. read the text and look at the diagrams. then, follow the instructions below. chloroplasts are cell parts that use photosynthesis to make sugar from carbon dioxide and water. a plant cell can use this sugar as a source of energy. mitochondria are cell parts that break down sugar. like other cell parts, mitochondria are found within the cytoplasm. in both the mitochondria and the cytoplasm, chemical reactions break down sugar to form new molecules. this process releases energy for the plant cell to use. click the blue words to correct the statements below. in a plant cell, mitochondria use photosynthesis to make sugar. then, the cytoplasm and mitochondria carry out chemical reactions using the sugar. these reactions release energy for the plant cell to use. this example shows that the plant cells parts depend on each other to get energy for the cell.
Chloroplasts use photosynthesis to make sugar. Mitochondria break down sugar. The statement wrongly attributes sugar - making to mitochondria.

The statement "In a plant cell, mitochondria use photosynthesis to make sugar. Then, the cytoplasm and mitochondria carry out chemical reactions using the sugar. These reactions release energy for the plant cell to use." is incorrect. Chloroplasts are the cell parts that use photosynthesis to make sugar, not mitochondria. Mitochondria break down the sugar produced by chloroplasts to release energy.
