similarities of mitochondria and plastids :- 1) Mitochondria and Plastids both are double membraned structure.
2) They both have their own DNA and ribosomes of their own.
3) They both can be said as the kitchen of the cell. One gives energy by cellular respiration and other by food storage. Difference —Mitochondria lack pigments whereas plastid have it.
difference between mitochondria and plastid:-
Mitochondria Plastids
1) Found in all eukaryotic cells 1) Found in only plant cells
Produces ATP Produces glucose and stores it as starch
2) The main function is cell
respiration 2) Main organelle for photosynthesis
3) Smaller in size 3) Comparatively larger in size
4) Pigments are absent 4) Pigments are present
