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'.
