Chloroplasts are similar to mitochondria in that both

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chloroplasts and mitochondria share the characteristic of having a porous outer membrane, which allows small molecules to pass through. However, chloroplasts contain light sensitive pigments (such as chlorophyll) while mitochondria do not, and the import of proteins into each organelle is different (chloroplasts require a transit peptide while mitochondria require a mitochondrial targeting sequence). Additionally, cristae are unique to mitochondria and are not found in chloroplasts.
