|
Mitochondria produces energy and chloroplasts breaks down energy
|
|
|
There is no difference. They are the same.
|
|
|
Mitochondria breaks down energy from food and chloroplasts produce energy from sunlight.
|
|
|
Mitochondria contains DNA and chloroplasts are green
|
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: -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-3: -Chloroplasts are responsible for converting sunlight into food for plants by a process known as photosynthesis. Further, mitochondria are responsible for converting this food into energy in the form of ATP.
Detailed explanation-4: -Differences Between Mitochondria and Chloroplasts Mitochondria break down carbohydrates to produce ATP through cellular respiration, while chloroplasts produce ATP from solar energy and store it in carbohydrates through photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-5: -Both chloroplasts and mitochondria function to generate metabolic energy, evolved by endosymbiosis, contain their own genetic systems, and replicate by division. However, chloroplasts are larger and more complex than mitochondria, and they perform several critical tasks in addition to the generation of ATP.
