Compares mitochondria to chloroplasts.
Mitochondria - cellular respiration, food to A TP Chloroplast - photosynthesis,
solar energy to food (glucose
List three pieces of evidence that suggest mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from pro karyotic
cells.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have a singular circular chromosome similar to prokaryotes, they have
ribosomes that are similar to prokaryotes, and they reproduce themselves similar to prokaryotes.
