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: -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-2: -Chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, are in many respects similar to mitochondria. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria function to generate metabolic energy, evolved by endosymbiosis, contain their own genetic systems, and replicate by division.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Both mitochondria and chloroplasts can produce energy for the cells they are living in as they have S ribosomes and DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chloroplasts and mitochondria are very similar organelles. In both organelles, a double layered membrane encloses a circular DNA and protein synthesis machinery.
