1. Plant mitochondria have uncoupling protein that allows H+ to diffuse from the intermembrane space back to the matrix, and animals don't. Having this protein seems to decrease amount of ATP generated, so it is still unclear what its function is.

2. They also have Alternative Oxidase (AOX) which provides alternative route for electrons passing through electron transport chain to reduce Oxygen to water.

3. Two NAD(P)H dehydrogenases, both Ca2+-dependent,

attached to the outer surface of the inner membrane

facing the intermembrane space can oxidize cytosolic NADH and NADPH.

Are mitochondria in plants different from mitochondria in animals?

Mitochondria in plants and animals are similar in structure and function, but there are some differences. Plant mitochondria can have unique functions related to photosynthesis, such as involvement in the production of certain amino acids. Additionally, plant mitochondria may have different compositions of proteins and enzymes compared to animal mitochondria due to their specific cellular roles.
