Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Plant cells contain chloroplasts as well as mitochondria. You're correct that photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are present in order to produce glucose via energy from sunlight.The glucose is then transferred to the mitochondria where aerobic respiration takes place. Chloroplasts generate ATP, but not enough to keep the cell functioning.The reason that you'll find mitochondria in plant cells is because mitochondria generates most of the ATP required for the cell to function. The fact that plants contain mitochondria does not mean that indoor plants don't contain chloroplasts.ou're correct that photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.

Mitochondria: Mitochondria is one of the largest organ of the cell and is known as the 'power house of the cell'. It is a spherical or rod shaped organelles and is enveloped by a double membrane. The mitochondria aids in conversion of glucose to high energy molecules (ATP) for the cell.ell wall: The cell wall is a rigid layer that surrounds the plant cells. Plant cell walls are primarily made up of cellulose. It is located outside the cell membrane whose main function is to provide rigidity, strength, protection against mechanical stress and infection.
