Question

Select the wrong statement from the following:

• A. The chloroplasts are generally much larger than mitochondria
• B. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain an inner and an outer membrane
• C. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria have an internal compartment, the thylakoid space bounded by the thylakoid membrane
• D. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain DNA

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both chloroplasts and mitochondria have an internal compartment, the thylakoid space bounded by the thylakoid membrane

Both chloroplasts and mitochondria do have an internal compartment. However, the thylakoid space bounded by the thylakoid membrane is only present in the chloroplast and not in the mitochondria.
