The similarity between the two is that both of them have their own DNA and ribosomes. Therefore, they are able to prepare their own protiens.
Plastids and Mitochondria have a similar external structure.
Both have two membrane covering instead of just one.

∙ 11y ago1. Mitochondria is known as power house of the cell whereas the Plastids are known as the kitchen of the cell.
2. Mitochondria produces energy in the form of ATP whereas Plastids manufacture food i.e., photosynthesis.

Why do Biologists suspect endosymbiosis gave rise to mitochondria before plastids?
Almost all eukaryotes have mitochondria but only some cells have chloroplasts
What is the difference between nadph nadh with respect to its permeability in mitochondria?
The difference between NADPH and NADH with respect to its permeability in mitochondria is that NADH is found in mitochondria, NADPH is not. NADPH is involved in ANABOLIC reactions (ie: ANABOLISM of glucose in plants through dark reaction). NADH is involved in catabolic reactions.
Difference of chemiosmosis in chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Well, I know that in mitochondria, protons are pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space; however, in chloroplasts, protons are pumped from the stroma to the thykaloid space.I am not sure if that is the only difference, though ^^'
Which cell organelles is called kitchen of the cell?
Chloroplast is known as the kitchen of cell not Mitochondria. Chloroplast have a pigment called chlorophyll and they are involved in the photosynthesis of food that's why known as kitchen of cell.
What does the theory of endosymbiosis explain?
concerns the origins of mitochondria and plastids (e.g. chloroplasts), which are organelles of eukaryotic cells. According to this theory, these organelles originated as separate prokaryotic organisms which were taken inside the cell as endosymbionts. Mitochondria developed from proteobacteria (in particular, Rickettsiales or close relatives) and chloroplasts from cyanobacteria. concerns the origins of mitochondria and plastids (e.g. chloroplasts), which are organelles of eukaryotic cells.

What organ has the same function as a mitochondria?
Plastids
What is a common feature of mitochondria and plastids?
ATP
What is common feature of mitochondria and plastids?
ATP
Mitochondria and plastids likely formed in eukaryotes in what way?
Endosymbiosisis the process that caused mitochondria and plastids to form eukaryotes. One larger engulfs a minuscule prokaryote and turns it into eukaryotes.
Why are mitochondria and plastids called semiautonomous membrane?
Mitochondria and Plastids are called semi-autonomous because thy have have their own genome (DNA) ,and are therefore self replicating and can live without the cell mechanism.
Compare and contrast mitochondria and plastic?
the mitochondria is the vital activities of the cell while plastids are manufacture in food photosynthesis.
What organelle in the cell produces carbohydrates?
Mitochondira
What is the main difference between plant and animal cells pertaining the presence of plastids?
On the basis of plastids a plant cell can be recognized from animal cell. The plant cells have several plastids including chloroplasts. Animal cells are characterized by their abscence.
What is the difference between respiration and mitochondria?
Respiration is a process. It takes place in organelle ,mitochondria
Why do Biologists suspect endosymbiosis gave rise to mitochondria before plastids?
Almost all eukaryotes have mitochondria but only some cells have chloroplasts
Name the two organelles in a plant cell that contains their own genetic material and ribosomes?
mitochondria and plastids
Are mitochondria in plants different from mitochondria in animals?
Mitochondria can be found in both animal and plant cells and there is no difference between those from plants and those from animals.
