Which statement describes the interaction between chloroplasts and mitochondria?


Chloroplasts sort and package proteins, and mitochondria deliver the proteins.


Chloroplasts create sugar and oxygen, which mitochondria convert into energy.


Chloroplasts control what enters the cell, and mitochondria provide a rigid structure.


Chloroplasts contain genetic information, which mitochondria use to create proteins.

Answer 1

Correct answer: "Chloroplasts create sugar and oxygen, which mitochondria convert into energy."

Why: Chloroplasts (in plant cells) use sunlight to make glucose and oxygen by photosynthesis. Mitochondria then use glucose and oxygen in cellular respiration to produce ATP, the cell's usable energy.
