Both mitochondria and chloroplast consists of DNA , have two membranes, have fluids inside them and convert energy.

Difference between Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-

They have different number of compartments, have different functions, and are involved in different energy processes.

Explanation:

Difference in Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-

a) Chloroplast is found in plants and unicellular organism and Mitochondria is found  all cells.

b) Chloroplast converts solar energy into chemical energy while Mitochondria converts one form of chemical energy into other form of chemical energy

c) Chloroplast is involved in photosynthesis while mitochondria is involved in cellular respiration.

d) Chloroplast has three parts i) Thylakoid ii) stroma  and iii) granum while mitochondria has three parts i) Critsa ii) Matrix

Similarities between Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-

Both mitochondria and chloroplast consists of DNA , have two membranes, have fluids inside them and convert energy.

Mitochondria is an organelle which is in charge of all the major processes that occur in the cell. It is otherwise known ads the powerhouse of the cell.

Chloroplast is the organelle which is responsible for the green plants to convert sunlight to energy. This energy is stored in form of ATP and NADPH

The similarities between mitochondria and chloroplast is

  • They both contain genetic information
  • They have more than one membrane
  • They convert energy from external sources

The differences between them include:

  • The number of compartments which they have varies
  • They perform different functions
  • Chloroplast is found in plant cells, but mitochondria is found in all cells.
