Question

Mention three similarities and one difference between mitochondria and plastids

Answer 1

Explanation:

. The similarities between mitochondria and plastids are as follows:

Both are cell organelles.

Both are bounded by double membrane.

Both contain DNA and RNA.

Both can make their own copies by division.

The differences between mitochondria and plastids are as follows:

Mitochondria helps in cellular respiration while plastids (chloroplast) helps in photosynthesis.

Mitochondria releases energy in the form of ATP while plastids store energy in the form of glucose.

Mitochondria are found in all eukaryotic cells but plastids are found only in algae and plant cells.

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell while plastids are the kitchen of the cell.

Answer 2

Explanation:

2. Mitochondria produces energy in the form of ATP whereas Plastidsmanufacture food i.e., photosynthesis.Plastids occur only in plant and algae cells, but mitochondria are found in all eukaryotic cells. ... mitochondria and plastics are they both are bounded with double membrane and they have there own gagnetic material.
