Both mitochondria and chloroplasts feature a series of electron carriers that facilitate electron transport, creating a gradient that drives ATP formation. In eukaryotes, this process primarily occurs in mitochondria, while in photosynthetic organisms, it takes place in chloroplasts. Despite these differences in location, the fundamental mechanism of transferring electrons from donors to acceptors remains similar.

An essential structural feature in both mitochondria and chloroplast.pdf
- 1. An essential structural feature in both mitochondria and chloroplasts is the presence of an ordered series of electron carriers. Outline electron transport in these two organelles and discuss similarities and differences. Solution The electron transport in both mitochondria and chloroplast is the transfer of electron from electron donors to electron acceptors which makes a gradient accross the membrane that drives the formation of ATP. In most eukaryotes it occurs in mitochondria. In photosynthetic organisms it occurs in chloroplasts. Differences: Similarities:
