Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Chloroplasts are responsible for capturing energy from the sun and converting it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Mitochondria are responsible for converting that chemical energy into usable energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. Together, these two organelles are directly involved in the flow of energy from the sun through all living things.
