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.

Eukaryotic cells are large, advanced and multicellular. They do contain membrane-bound organelles (plants contain a large vacuole and chloroplasts) and do have a distinct nucleus (the nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear membrane and the DNA is therefore cut off from the cytoplasm).hey do not contain any membrane-bound organelles (such as chloroplasts, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc) and do not have a distinct nucleus (ie: no nuclear membrane-so the DNA is floating around in the cytoplasm).
