Given below are two statements: Statement I: Mitochondria and...
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Mitochondria and chloroplasts both double membranes bound organelles.
Statement II: Inner membrane of mitochondria is relatively less permeable, as compared chloroplast.
In the light of the above statements, choose the mis appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
- BStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
- CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Correct answer
B. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Step-by-step solution
Both mitochondria and chloroplasts are double membrane bound cell organelles.
Transport of ions occurs across the inner membrane of mitochondria. The inner membrane of chloroplast is impermeable to ions and metabolites. Therefore, it is said that inner membrane of mitochondria is relatively more permeable to that of chloroplast.
