Given below are two statements: Statement I: Mitochondria and chloroplasts are both double membrane bound organelles. Statement II: Inner membrane of mitochondria is relatively less permeable, as compared to chloroplast.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I is correct: Mitochondria are described as double membrane-bound structures with an outer and inner membrane . Similarly, chloroplasts are also double membrane-bound organelles (implied by the mention of an inner membrane enclosing the stroma) . Statement II is incorrect: The textbook specifically states regarding chloroplasts that "the inner chloroplast membrane is relatively less permeable" (compared to its outer membrane) . The statement in the question incorrectly frames this characteristic or makes a comparison not supported by the text.
