What are the difference of mitochondria and chloroplast?

Answer 1

mitochondria,otherwise called the power house of a cell, are seen both in plant and animal cells and carryout respiration to produce energy. But chloroplasts are found only in some monerans and plants and are the sites of photosynthesis.

Answer 2

Mitochondria have a coiled inner membrane but chloroplasts do not.In addition to that, mitochondria are involved in the catabolic reaction of respiration in which they break down carbohydrates.Chloroplasts on the other hand are involved in the anabolic reaction of photosynthesis.
Difference between chloroplast and mitochondria: 1)Mitochondria occur in the cells of aerobic organisms with the exception of mammalian RBCs while Chloroplasts occur in the cells of green photosynthetic parts of plants. 2)Mitochondria is colorless while Chloroplasts is green in color. 3) Mitochondria's shape is rod-like or sausage-shaped while Chloroplasts are generally disc-like in outline. 4) Mitochondria liberate energy while Chloroplasts trap solar energy and convert it into chemical energy. 5) Mitochondria perform oxidation of food while Chloroplasts synthesize food by photosynthesis. 6) Mitochondria consumes O2 and liberate CO2 while Chloroplasts consumes CO2 and liberate O2.

Answer 3

Chloroplast

It is use for synthesis to produce glucose by the help of sun light

It is only found in plant cell

It is responsible for the green color in plants

Mitochondria

It is used for internal respiration or for producing energy

It is found on both cell

It is responsible for storing energy as ATP compound

Answer 4

the mitochondria change chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use while the chloroplast is the only organelle that can trap the energy of sunlight and convert it into chemical energy.

Answer 5

Mitochondia are membrane bound organelles involved in cellular respiration. It has an outer membrane and inner membrane. The apace between the membranes is called the Intermembrane space and the area inside the inner membrane is called the matrix. In the matrix, the citric acid or Krebs cycle takes place, which is the second step in the break down of complex molecules into energy. The products of this cycle are then used to create a proton gradient across the inner membrane using the electron transport chain. The protons are then forced against the gradient through ATP synthase to produce ATP. This process creates the most ATP out of every other stage in respiration. The energy produced is then used in all cellular processes. The chloroplast has an outer membrane. On the inside of this membrane are small membranous sacks called thylakoids. The thylakoids are grouped in stacks called grana. The area around the thylakoids inside the outer membrane is called the stroma. The area inside the thylakoids is called the thylakoid space. In the thylakoid membrane are photosystems containing chlorophyl a, clorophyl b, and several other pigments such as carotenoids. The photosystems absorb light and create a proton gradient which is used to create ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle. The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma. It is the cycle through which carbon dioxide is built into more complex sugar molecules. All products of photo reactions are used in the Calvin cycle. To put it in very simple terms, mitochondria are involved in the breaking of molecules into energy and chloroplasts are used to build molecules which mitochondria can break down. Plants contain both chloroplasts and mitochondria.

Answer 6

Chloroplast have a pigment called chlorophyll and they are involved in the photosynthesis of food that's why known as kitchen of the cell. Mitochondria is known as power house of cell. They use carbohydrates and fats present in the cell to CO2 and water vapor. Oxidation releases energy, a portion of which is used to form ATP. Since the mitochondria synthesize, energy-rich compounds (ATP), they are known as 'power house ' of the cell.

Answer 7

The chloroplast is the organelle which engages in energy storage by the process of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis carbon from the carbon dioxide in the air is enzymatically reduced, with energy input from visible light to form sugars for both metabolism and for the plant structure.

The mitochondria is the organelle which extracts free energy from NADH and FADH, energy-rich products of the citric acid cycle, glycolysis, and fatty-acid metabolism in a process called oxidative phosphorylation. NADH and FADH are oxidized in steps yielding free-energy stored as ATP, the universal energy currency of the body. In the last step, oxygen oxidizes the electron donor to H2O. The energy-yielding reactions take place on cytochromes. This whole reaction complex is called the respiratory assembly and is located on the inner membrane on mitochondria.

Thus, while only plant cells have chloroplasts, both plant and animal cells have mitochondria

Answer 8

mitochondria are in animal cells and carry out cellular respiration and chloroplasts are in plant cells and carry out photosynthesis

Answer 9

Chloroplast produce glucose using dun light energy. Mitochondria release this energy through respiration.
