Answer:

Plant cells need both chloroplasts and mitochondria because they perform both photosynthesis and cell respiration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chloroplast converts solar energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis, while mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, produces ATP- the energy currency of the cell during respiration.
