Question

What would have happened if there had been no difference between mitochondria and plastids?

Answer 1

if there will no difference between them so colour of animals will be green

Answer 2

Mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration in a cell.

Plastids impart color to different parts of a plant and are present in plant cells only.

If there wouldn’t have been any difference between mitochondria and plastids then these two functions of a cell namely respiration and imparting color would have hampered.

It is due to the chloroplast that leaves are green in color and flowers are multi-colored.
