Mitochondria |
Ribosomes |
1. | Mitochondria usually bean-shaped structure and colourless, where ATP or energy is produced by using sugars, This is referred as Mitochondria. | A Ribonucleo-Protein Particles and tiny granular structures which serves as workbenches, with mRNA, and it acts as blueprint in the process of protein synthesis, this is referred as Ribosomes. |
2. | Mitochondria includes ribosomes, organelles which takes part in protein synthesis, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). | Ribosomes include ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins. |
3. | These are absent in Red blood cells. | This is absent in Golgi bodies. |
4. | This is round or oval in the shape. | This is spherical and flattened in the shape. |
5. | Mitochondria is responsible for producing energy or ATP. | Ribosomes are responsible for the synthesis of protein. |
6. | Cellular respiration, dehydration, oxidative phosphorylation, oxidation, synthesis of ATP or energy, synthesis of mtDNA, synthesis of RNA, and synthesis of protein all are the functions of mitochondria. | Synthesis of protein is the main function of ribosomes. |
