True False Mitochondria are found in all eukaryotic cells.
True False  Both mitochondria and chloroplasts grow and divide within their host cells.
True False  The chemical reactions of photosynthesis occur in the mitochondria.
True False  Aerobic bacteria have mitochondria.
True False  Plants and eukaryotic algae have both chloroplasts and mitochondria.
True False  Chloroplasts are seen in photosynthetic bacteria.

the answers of TTTFFF and TTTFTF ARE WRONG

Explanation / Answer

True statements:

Mitochondria are found in all eukaryotic cells

Both mitochondria and chloroplasts grow and divide within their host cells

Plants and eukaryotic algae have both chloroplasts and mitochondria

False statements:

The chemical reactions of photosynthesis occur in the mitochondria (Infact, chemical reactions of photosynthesis occur in chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells and membranes of prokaryotes)

Aerobic bacteria have mitochondria (Irrespective of aerobic or anaerobic, bacteria do not possess membrane bound organelle. The respiratory enzymes are attached to plasma membrane at specific location called mesosome)

Chloroplasts are seen in photosynthetic bacteria (Bacteria do not contain membrane bound organelle. Their photosynthetic machinery at attached to inner plasma membrane)
