The chloroplast is used to, put simply, create energy for the cell. Look up each of these organelles in a biology text book . . . you are should find mitochondria do a lot of energy creation in the animal cell, the nucleus hold the DNA, the golgi apparatus is for packaging material for shipment out of the cell, the cytosol is stuff all the organelles "float" in, and the endoplasmic reticulum is for initial packaging of proteins and giving proteins their shapes. This is very simplified but if you need more detail, look it up in you textbook.

i think the answer is d because both organelle carry out process to release energy where the chloroplast produce glucose to be used by the plant and mitochondrion produce atp (adenosine triphosphate) as energy source for cell inside our body so maybe the answer is d

Chloroplast produces energy for the plant cell...
Mitochondrion produces energy for the animal cell.

i studied this not too long ago. but i cant remember! i think it is the cytosol. if its not that it is most likely the E.R. (endoplasmic reticulum)
but remember, im just guessing
