QUESTION

How does a mitochondria relate to photosynthesis?

The mitochondrion converts the formed by into ##"CO"_2## and ##"H"_2"O"##, with the energy going into the formation of ##"ATP"##.

Photosynthesis is food production using the energy from sunlight.

##"6CO"_2 + "6H"_2"O" → "C"_6"H"_12"O"_6 + "6O"_2##

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs.

Mitochondria are the organelles that convert the energy in food into ATP to be used as chemical energy by the cell.

##"C"_6"H"_12"O"_6 + "6O"_2 →"6CO"_2 + "6H"_2"O" +"ATP"##
