Solution
The correct option is A Mitochondria and chloroplasts
The cellular organelles involved in energy transformation are mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Mitochondria are double membrane-bound organelle which is also known as the powerhouse of the cell.
It produces energy for the cell and also carries out cellular respiration.
It creates energy in the form of ATP molecules.
Apart from the mitochondria, chloroplasts can also produce energy by the process called photosynthesis.
The green coloured pigment (chlorophyll) present in the chloroplasts is involved in the process called photosynthesis in which light energy is converted into chemical energy.
So, the correct answer is 'Mitochondria and chloroplasts'.
