Mitochondria differ from chloroplasts in that mitochondria produce glucose, whereas chloroplasts break down glucose. Mitochondria are not found in plants, and chloroplasts are not found in animals. Mitochondria contain a folded inner membrane, whereas chloroplasts contain thylakoids in grana stacks. Mitochondria contain membrane folds called cristae, whereas chloroplasts contain disk-like stacks called thylakoids.

Both the light dependent reactions in Chloroplasts and oxidative phosphorylation in Mitochondria rely on the use of Electron Transport Chains. Compare and contrast these two systems, being sure to describe the role each plays in the biochemical pathways of the cell.
Suman K.
Both the mitochondria and the chloroplast have structures that allow the accumulation of protons. Which compartment in the chloroplast is analogous (functionally does the same thing) to the intermembrane space in a mitochondrion? Thylakoid lumen Matrix Intermembrane space (between outer and inner membranes of the chloroplast) Stroma
