Select the wrong statement from the following:

  1. A
    both chloroplast and mitochondria contain an inner and an outer membrane
  2. B
    both chloroplasts and mitochondria have an internal compartment, the thylakoid space bounded by the thylakoid membrane
  3. C
    both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain DNA
  4. D
    the chloroplasts are generally much larger than mitochondria

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

While both are double-membrane bound, only chloroplasts have a third membrane system called thylakoids. Mitochondria have an inner membrane folded into cristae, but they do not have a thylakoid space.
