Detailed explanation-1: -The major difference between chloroplasts and mitochondria, in terms of both structure and function, is the thylakoid membrane. This membrane is of central importance in chloroplasts, where it fills the role of the inner mitochondrial membrane in electron transport and the chemiosmotic generation of ATP (Figure 10.14).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Chloroplast Function and Structure Like the mitochondria, the chloroplast has an inner and outer membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria and chloroplast are the semi-autonomous organelles because they both contains 70S ribosome and DNA. Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Detailed explanation-5: -What organ system is mitochondria similar to? The mitochondria is similar to the digestive system They both break down nutrients to produce energy Page 2 What organ system is similar to lysosomes and vacuoles?
