Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own genetic informations, which is one of the reasons why people believe that mitochondria and chloroplasts have originated as a bacteria that started mutualism with an early eukaryote. This relationship is known as the endosymbiotic theory.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are both membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. They both generate energy for the cell: mitochondria through aerobic respiration to produce ATP, and chloroplasts through photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. Additionally, both organelles contain their own DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to produce some of their own proteins independently from the cell's nucleus.
- they are called organelles
- they have their own DNA independent of the cell nucleus
- they reproduce by dividing within the cell
- etc.
They both present in plant cells, where they work together to capture and convert energy. That is it.
1 Chloroplast and mitochondria are double membrane bounded
2 They both came into existing by the process of endocytosis of bacteria
3 They both have their own nucleus
Both have double membranes and their own form of DNA, as well as being the "powerhouse" for the cells they are in.

What organelle is responsible for converting food into energy?
The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for converting food into energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration.
What organelles that have a double membrane?
Nucleus Mitochondria
What is the evidence for the endosymbiosis hypothesis?
Evidence for the endosymbiosis hypothesis includes similarities between mitochondria/chloroplasts and bacteria (such as DNA structure and ribosomes), the ability of mitochondria/chloroplasts to replicate independently within cells, and historical precedence in the evolution of eukaryotic organisms. Additionally, the presence of a double membrane in mitochondria and chloroplasts supports the idea that these organelles were once free-living bacteria that were engulfed by an ancestral eukaryotic cell.
Why do Biologists suspect endosymbiosis gave rise to mitochondria before plastids?
Biologists suspect that mitochondria arose before plastids through endosymbiosis because mitochondria are present in almost all eukaryotic cells, while plastids are only found in photosynthetic eukaryotes. Additionally, mitochondria share more structural and functional similarities with their bacterial ancestors than plastids do.
How are chloroplasts and mitochondria similar to bacteria?
Chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own DNA and ribosomes, similar to bacteria. They also reproduce independently within the cell through a process resembling binary fission, just like bacteria. Additionally, both organelles are thought to have originated from endosymbiotic relationships with ancient bacterial cells.
Why are mitochondria and chloroplasts differ?
They have different functions. But they have similarities
What characteristics do mitochondria and chloroplasts. share?
They are both part of the endomembrane system
What organ share the same job with the mitochondria in the human body?
The chloroplasts in plant cells share a similar role to the mitochondria in that they both function as the powerhouse of the cell by producing energy through cellular respiration (for mitochondria) and photosynthesis (for chloroplasts).
What are the similarities of Eukaryote-Animal cell and the organelles mitochondria and chloroplasts?
I am pretty sure all those are in animal cells.
Do mitochondria and choloroplast independently?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have evolved independently. While they share some similarities, such as their own DNA and ability to generate energy in the form of ATP, their origin and function differ. Mitochondria likely originated from ancient bacteria that were engulfed by primitive eukaryotic cells, while chloroplasts are believed to have evolved from photosynthetic cyanobacteria that were also engulfed by eukaryotic cells.
What organelle is responsible for converting food into energy?
The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for converting food into energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration.
Does animal cells have mitochondria?
Plants and animals share many similarities and differences in the cells they have. Both plants and animals have mitochondria cells present.
What is similar about chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Both chloroplasts and mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are involved in energy production processes - chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis to produce energy from sunlight, while mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration to produce energy from glucose. Both organelles also have their own DNA and ribosomes, suggesting they may have evolutionary origins from symbiotic bacteria.
What parts of a cell do scientists think were once free-living organisms?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought to have once been a free prokaryotic cell.
What are factw about mitochondria and chloroplasts constitution support for the endosymbiont theorym?
There are three characteristics of mitochondria and chloroplasts that support this theory. First, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have two membranes surrounding them. Second, like prokaryotes, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain ribosomes, as well as a circular DNA molecules attached to their inner membranes. Third, mitochondria and chloroplasts are autonomous.
Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA. Mitochondria DNA is circular, similar to bacterial DNA, and is inherited maternally. Chloroplasts also have circular DNA and are thought to have originated from endosymbiotic relationships with ancient prokaryotes.
Do mitochondria contain green pigment?
No they do not. They are in chloroplasts.
