The statement that accurately describes the relationship between chloroplasts and mitochondria is:
**The products of cellular respiration can be used as reactants in photosynthesis.**
This statement is true because chloroplasts (which carry out photosynthesis) utilize carbon dioxide and water, which are byproducts of the cellular respiration performed by mitochondria. In turn, the glucose and oxygen produced by photosynthesis can be used as reactants in cellular respiration.
While it is also true that both chloroplasts and mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles, this statement does not capture the more specific and relevant relationship between the two. The other statements regarding the dependency of mitochondria on chloroplasts and the direct use of ATP produced by chloroplasts by mitochondria are inaccurate.
