Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chloroplasts and mitochondria both have two membranes surrounding them. This allows for compartmentalization of their specialized functions within the cell. While chloroplasts are green due to the presence of chlorophyll, which is used in photosynthesis, this is not always true for mitochondria. Both organelles are not manufactured by the nucleolus and while mitochondria can synthesize lipids, this is not a shared characteristic with chloroplasts.
