how are mitochondria and chloroplast related to prokaryotes?
112524
Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from engulfed prokaryotes that once lived as independent organisms. At some point, a eukaryotic cell engulfed an aerobic prokaryote, which then formed an endosymbiotic relationship with the host eukaryote, gradually developing into a mitochondrion.

Both organelles are involved in energy transformation, mitochondria in cellular respiration and chloroplasts in photosynthesis. They both have multiple membranes that separate their interiors into compartments.

Mitochondria are present in the cells of all types of aerobic organisms like plants and animals, whereas Chloroplast is present in green plants and some algae, protists like Euglena. ... The inner membrane of mitochondria is folded into cristae while that of a chloroplast, rises into flattened sacs called as thylakoids.

plant cells are eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a membrane bound nucleus, mitochondria or other membrane bound cell structures (organelles), the DNA of prokaryotic cells are located in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Ribosomes are found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; in mitochondria, chloroplasts and bacteria. Those found in prokaryotes are generally smaller than those in eukaryotes. Ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts are similar in size to those in bacteria.
508403
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are believed to have developed from symbiotic bacteria, specifically alpha-proteobacteria and cyanobacteria, respectively. The theory states that a prokaryotic cell was consumed or engulfed by a larger cell.
3484
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are called semi-autonomous organelles because they have their own DNA, enzymes and transport systems.

How are mitochondria like chloroplasts? They have the same structure. They both absorb the energy of the sun. They are both concerned with energy.
189877
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant. ... In this respect they are similar to mitochondria, but are found only in plants and protista.

Both mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own DNA and ribosomes. Why would these organelles need DNA and ribosomes, when there is DNA in the nucleus and ribosomes in the cytosol? Strong evidence points to endosymbiosis as the answer to the puzzle.

The answers to these questions have a lot to do with two important organelles: mitochondria and chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are organelles found in the broccoli's cells, along with those of other plants and algae. ... Mitochondria are found inside of your cells, along with the cells of plants.
135185
The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells and divide by binary fission. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA which is circular, not linear.
1448179
Even though both organelles are found in eukaryotic cells, both mitochondria and chloroplast have characteristics often found in prokaryotic cells. ... Chloroplasts transform light energy into the chemical energy of ATP. Mitochondria can be found in animal cells and Chloroplasts can be found in plant cells.

Chloroplast Function and Structure Chloroplasts are very similar to mitochondria, but are found only in the cells of plants and some algae. Like mitochondria, chloroplasts produce food for their cells. Chloroplasts help turn sunlight into food that can be used by the cell, a process known as photosynthesis.

Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles. ... Most prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms that have a relatively simple structure. Prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, but they have no internal membrane-bound organelles within their cytoplasm.

How do the chloroplast and mitochondria work together to keep plant cells alive? Chloroplasts convert sunlight into food during photosynthesis, then mitochondria makes energy out of the food in the form of ATP. where critical chemical reactions occur in the cell that allow for the release of energy from food.

['Mitochondria and Plastids both are double membraned structure.', 'They both have their own DNA and ribosomes of their own.', 'They both can be said as the kitchen of the cell. One gives energy by cellular respiration and other by food storage. Difference —Mitochondria lack pigments whereas plastid have it.']
