Question

Write two similarities between mitochondria and plastid

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference:

1)Mitochondria is power house of the cell whereas plastids are the kitchen of the cell.

2)Mitochondria release energy in form of ATP

whereas plastids stores food .

3)Plastids occur only in plant and algae cells, but mitochondria are found in all eukaryotic cells.

Similarities:

1)Both are double membraned structure.

2)Both contain RNA and DNA.

3)Both can produce their own copies by division.

Answer 2

Similarities

Both mitochondria and plasmids are double membrane bound organelles.

Both mitochondria and plastid in their outer membrane have porin protein which makes outer layer more permeable.

Both mitochondria and plasmids have some of their own DNA for protein synthesis hence they are called as semi autonomous cell organelles.

Difference

The difference between plastid and mitochondria is that plastid are found in plant cells and mitochondria are found in both plant and animal.
