Question

Describe similarities in structure and function of chloroplast and mitochondria

Answer 1

The basic structure of chloroplast and mitochondria is similar.

Both organelles are consist of;

• A smooth outer membrane and folded inner membrane (in chloroplast = lamellae, In mitochondria = cristae)
• A fluid-filled intracellular space (in chloroplast = stroma, in mitochondria = the matrix).

These structures enable these organelles to perform a similar function.
