The Difference:
the major difference between chloroplast and mitochondria is that the latter contains thylakoid membrane and pigment molecules, whereas the mitochondria membranes contain respiratory enzymes not found in chloroplast membrane.
Similarities:
They both are the main powersource of the organism.(Mitochondria producing ATP through the krebs cycle and chloroplast uses photosynthesis to produce glucose.)
they function the same way.they only look different
Cytoplasm is the gel-like substance within a cell that surrounds the organelles, including mitochondria. Mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they generate energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. The cytoplasm provides the necessary environment and substrates for mitochondrial function, while also facilitating the transport of molecules between organelles. Thus, they work together to support cellular metabolism and energy production.
difference between tally & fact ?
what is the difference between khadi and handloom
There is no difference between a donkey and a burrow
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 ^^'
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
Chloroplasts consume energy to produce glucose. Mitochondria liberate energy by burning the glucose. That means there is biological reduction in chloroplasts and biological oxidation in mitochondria.
if you are trying to answer the bio question in test #2 of the review book, then the answer is number 3- ribosome with protein synthesis
Chloroplasts use visible light to fix carbon (obtained from carbon dioxide) into sugars. They are found in plants as well as small organisms.Mitochondria break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and create energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.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.
Respiration is a process. It takes place in organelle ,mitochondria
Some common cell organelle questions that students often have in biology class include: What is the function of the mitochondria? How do ribosomes contribute to protein synthesis? What is the difference between the structure and function of the nucleus and the cytoplasm? How do lysosomes help maintain cell homeostasis? What role do chloroplasts play in plant cells?
An organ is a collection of cells that perform a function (liver, skin, muscles) whereas an organelle is something INSIDE a cell which performs a function for the cell (ribosome, mitochondria)
similarities: cell membrane, nucleus, organelles: including ribosomes mitochondria etc.it's easier to say the difference: animal cells do not have a cell wall, or chloroplasts or starch storage...
Both mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles. Mitochondria are used in cellular respiration and chloroplasts are used in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are opposite processes. Both are believed to have evolved from a living single celled bacteria that was engulfed by an early form of a plant or animal cell. Therefore, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA. Furthermore, they both have free ribosomes. NOTE! they both DO NOT have 2 membranes. chloroplasts have 3 membranes
Evidence for the endosymbiosis hypothesis includes similarities between mitochondria/chloroplasts and bacteria (such as DNA structure and ribosomes), the ability of mitochondria/chloroplasts to replicate independently within cells, and historical precedence in the evolution of eukaryotic organisms. Additionally, the presence of a double membrane in mitochondria and chloroplasts supports the idea that these organelles were once free-living bacteria that were engulfed by an ancestral eukaryotic cell.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts most likely arose in eukaryotic cells through a process called endosymbiosis, where a host cell engulfed a prokaryotic cell. Over time, the prokaryotic cell evolved to become an organelle within the host cell, forming a symbiotic relationship. This theory is supported by the similarities between mitochondria and chloroplasts and modern-day bacteria.
