Question

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. I
In the light of the above statements, choose the mis appropriate answer from the options given below

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
• C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Evaluating Statements on Mitochondria and Chloroplasts:

• Statement I: Both mitochondria and chloroplasts are double-membrane bound organelles, characteristic of eukaryotic cells. Hence , it is Correct.
• Statement II: The inner membrane of the mitochondria is highly impermeable, whereas the inner membrane of the chloroplast is permeable to some molecules due to the presence of specific transporters. Hence , it is Incorrect.

Thus, the correct answer is (3) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
