An essential structural feature in both mitochondria and chl

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.
