When comparing and contrasting the mitochondria and chloroplast, a person learns all of the similarities and differences between the two. In this essay, you will read about the mitochondria, the chloroplast, and their biochemical reactions. The mitochondria often referred to as the powerhouse cell is found in the eukaruotic cells. There, those cells are often found in groups of hundreds. Mitochondria cells can be anywhere from 1 to 10 um long in length, but are able to …showed first 75 words of 630 total…

The carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms then leave the thylakoids and move into the stroma where they form carbohydrates. The carbon dioxide molecule then becomes unstable and the splits. The ending molecule, PGLA, is used to form the end products of photosynthesis. So in conclusion, you can see that the mitochondria and chloroplast are very complex and contain many different elements.
