How mitochondria and chloroplasts are opposites in function?
There is no definite difference in function, however the necessary catalysts are quite different. Chloroplasts require sunlight to start, whereas mitochondrion do not require light. REVISION: I disagree with the previous answer - the function of a mitochondria and a chloroplast are fundamentally different, indeed nearly opposite in many respects. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis whereby light energy and carbon dioxide are utilized to form sugars. Mitochondria are the site of much of cellular respiration (parts of cellular respiration also occur in the cytoplasm) where oxygen and sugars are broken down to generate energy and carbon dioxide. Plants utilize their chloroplasts to generate sugars wherein the energy of the sun can be stored and later used by their mitochondria and cellular respiration to generate energy.
What is the difference between respiration and mitochondria?
Respiration is a process. It takes place in organelle ,mitochondria
What is the major similarity and difference between cellular respiration and respiration and photosynthesis?
That it have cell
What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs in terms of whether the cells perform photosynthesis and or cellular respiration?
Autotrophs perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Heterotrophs perform only respiration
Difference between mitochondria and chloroplast?
Mitochondria is an organelle of the cell where as the chloroplast is a kind of plastids.... mitochondria is found in plants and animals both where as chloroplasts are found only in plants... Mitochondria is the power house of cell where cellular respiration takes place and chloroplast is a green pigment especially in leaves that helps it for photosynthesis called chlorophyll. hope its helpful!! ^_^
The difference between photosynthesis in chloroplasts and cellular respiration in the mitochondria?
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
Difference of chemiosmosis in chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Well, I know that in mitochondria, protons are pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space; however, in chloroplasts, protons are pumped from the stroma to the thykaloid space.I am not sure if that is the only difference, though ^^'
What best describes the difference between photosynthesis in the chloroplast and cellular respiration in the mitochondiria?
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
What is the function difference between chloroplasts and mitochondria?
The Difference: the major difference between chloroplast and mitochondria is that the latter contains thylakoid membrane and pigment molecules, whereas the mitochondria membranes contain respiratory enzymes not found in chloroplast membrane. Similarities: They both are the main powersource of the organism.(Mitochondria producing ATP through the krebs cycle and chloroplast uses photosynthesis to produce glucose.)

How photosynthesis and respiration are similar and different?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in the sense that they are simply (and only when talking about the SIMPLE aspect of it) the opposites of each other.EX -- 6 CO2+ 6 H2O → C6H12O6+ 6 O2 is the formula for photosynthesis.C6H12O6+ 6 O2→ 6 CO2+ 6 H2O is the formula for cellular respiration.LITERALLY.They are different because the actual processes and cycles that happen during photosynthesis and cellular respiration (respectively) are completely different.PS - light dependent reactions and Calvin cycleCR - Krebs cycle and electron transport chain

Autotrophs perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Heterotrophs perform only respiration

What are differences between the mitochondria and chloroplast?
Chloroplasts use visible light to fix carbon (obtained from carbon dioxide) into sugars. They are found in plants as well as small organisms.Mitochondria break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and create energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.the mitochondria change chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use while the chloroplast is the only organelle that can trap the energy of sunlight and convert it into chemical energy.
