Select the wrong statement from the following.
Correct answer: D. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria have an internal compartment - the thylakoid space bounded by the thylakoid membrane
- A. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain DNA.
- B. The mitochondria are generally smaller than chloroplast
- C. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria contain an inner and an outer membrane
- D. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria have an internal compartment - the thylakoid space bounded by the thylakoid membrane
Explanation
The statement D is incorrect. While chloroplasts have an internal compartment called the thylakoid space, mitochondria do not have a thylakoid space. The thylakoid space is where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur in chloroplasts.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
