Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How are mitochondria and chloroplasts similar?
A
They both are outside the cell
B
They both control actions within the cell
C
They both provide energy to the cell
D
The both are found in animal cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Both chloroplasts and mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles having their own DNA and protein-synthesizing mechanisms. Both of them help in the cytoplasmic inheritance of certain specific characters and both depend on nuclear genes for biosynthetic activities. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-2: -Both mitochondria and chloroplasts can produce energy for the cells they are living in as they have S ribosomes and DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of the cell, breaking down fuel molecules and capturing energy in cellular respiration. Chloroplasts are found in plants and algae. They’re responsible for capturing light energy to make sugars in photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -In plant cells, chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy, and mitochondria consume the chemical energy to produce ATP. The optimal carbon fixation and plant growth require these two energy-transforming organelles to perform strictly coordinated actions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells require both chloroplasts and mitochondria since they carry out both cell respiration and photosynthesis. Chloroplasts and mitochondria are cell organelles of a plant cell.
