Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following pair of organelles have double membranes?
A
Chloroplast and mitochondria
B
Mitochondria and ribosomes
C
Nucleus and ribosomes
D
Chloroplast and ribosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Double membrane-bound organelles: Nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplast are double membrane-bound organelles present only in a eukaryotic cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Other cell organelles covered by a double membrane are nucleus and mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-3: -A double membrane surrounds both mitochondria and chloroplasts, further evidence that each was ingested by a primitive host. The two organelles also reproduce like bacteria, replicating their own DNA and directing their own division.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant chloroplasts are large organelles (5 to 10 m long) that, like mitochondria, are bounded by a double membrane called the chloroplast envelope (Figure 10.13). In addition to the inner and outer membranes of the envelope, chloroplasts have a third internal membrane system, called the thylakoid membrane.
