Question

mitchell is creating a model of a plant cell. mitchell wants to include organelles that are involved in energy production for the cell. which organelles should mitchell include? a. mitchell should use mitochondria to store energy and cytoplasm to release energy from food. b. mitchell should include the nucleus to transform light energy and chloroplasts to store energy. c. mitchell should include cytoplasm to store energy and lysosomes to release energy from food. d. mitchell should include chloroplasts to transform light energy and mitochondria to release energy from food.

Explanation:

Chloroplasts in plant cells carry out photosynthesis, transforming light - energy into chemical energy. Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, releasing energy from food through cellular respiration. The nucleus contains genetic material and is not involved in energy transformation, cytoplasm is a general cell component not specifically for energy storage or release, and lysosomes are for waste breakdown, not energy release from food.

Answer:

D. Mitchell should include chloroplasts to transform light energy and mitochondria to release energy from food.
