Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
how are chloroplasts and mitochondria similar? They both ____
A
produce energy products
B
are found in animal cells
C
are found in prokaryotes
D
destroy cell products
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a plant cell, chloroplast makes sugar during the process of photosynthesis converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. In mitochondria, through the process of cellular respiration breaks down sugar into energy that plant cells can use to live and grow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both are semi-autonomous, having their DNA, making tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA. Both have ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts (members of the plastid family) and mitochondria are central to the energy cycles of ecosystems and the biosphere. They both contain DNA, organized into nucleoids, coding for critical genes for photosynthetic and respiratory energy production.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the mitochondria, chemiosmosis is associated with the electron transport chains that will form or produce hydrogen ion gradient for ATP production. Similar to mitochondria, chloroplasts are also produced or formed ATP by using the hydrogen ion gradients.
