The Difference: the major difference between chloroplast and mitochondria is that the latter contains thylakoid membrane and pigment molecules, whereas the mitochondria membranes contain respiratory...
Mitochondria have a coiled inner membrane but chloroplasts do not.In addition to that, mitochondria are involved in the catabolic reaction of respiration in which they break down...
Mitochondia are membrane bound organelles involved in cellular respiration. It has an outer membrane and inner membrane. The apace between the membranes is called the Intermembrane space and the area...
Well, I know that in mitochondria, protons are pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space; however, in chloroplasts, protons are pumped from the stroma to the thykaloid space. I am not sure if...
chloroplasts can only be found in a plant and have a green filament called chlorophyll that feeds off the suns rays. this green filament called "chlorophyll" gives the plant is green color...
