What is the function difference between chloroplasts and mitochondria?

Answer 1

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.)

Answer 2

Chloroplasts are located in the cytoplasm of plants cells whilst Mitochondria are found in animal cells.

In short, they both produce ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is like the "currency" of energy for a living organism. You can think of them as little power stations for the cell.

Chloroplasts produce ATP by the Hills cycle in the cyclic-photophosphorylation process of the light dependant reaction of Photosynthesis.

Mitochondria produce ATP via the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. This process is more complex than photosynthesis in my opinion. It's basically the conversion of a glucose molecule into 36 ATP (different websites will give different values like 32, 34 or 38).

I hope this helps steer you in the right direction. :) They basically both produce ATP but in different ways.

Answer 3

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 colourless while Chloroplasts is green in colour. 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 4

Mitochondria carry out respiration. Chloroplasts carry out by chloroplasts

Answer 5

Both have same type of ribosomes-70s.They also have circular DNA.

Answer 6

Chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis. Mitochondria carry out aerobic respiration

Answer 7

The main function of a chloroplast is to conduct photosynthesis. There are 3 parts of chloroplasts; plastid, leucoplast, and chromoplast.
