What are the differences between Plastoribosomes and mitoribosomes?

Question

Accepted Answer

Basis of differentiation

Plastoribosomes

Mitoribosomes

Definition

Plastoribosomes are ribosomes that are present in plastids (chloroplasts) of plant cells

Are ribosomes that are found within the mitochondrial matrix

Ribosomal size

Are comparatively smaller than mitoribosome

Are comparatively larger than plastoribosomes

Protein synthesis

Synthesize proteins for plastid function

Synthesize proteins for mitochondrial function
