Q. Select the wrong statement from the following.
A) Both chloroplasts and mitochondria have an internal compartment, the thylakoid space bounded by the thylakoid membrane
B) Both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain DNA
C) The chloroplasts are generally much larger than mitochondria
D) Both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain an inner and an outer membrane
Explanation
[Solution from source] Thylakoids are found only in chloroplasts; mitochondria have cristae and a matrix but no thylakoid space, so this statement is wrong. Both organelles are double-membraned, contain their own DNA, and chloroplasts are generally larger than mitochondria. Answer (1).
