Chapter 4, Problem 5RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The functions of chloroplasts and mitochondria, the belief that these organelles arose from prokaryotic cells and also name this hypothesis.
Introduction:
The mitochondria are the cellular organelles that provide the cellular energy. The chloroplasts are the cellular organelles present in the plant and algal cells that help in the synthesis of the food.
