Summary Introduction
To argue:
Against a proposal given by a candidate that the mitochondria and chloroplast should be classified in the endomembrane system.
Introduction:
Mitochondria are membrane bound organelle which is also known as “power house of the cell”. It is present in almost all cells except RBCs. The structure of mitochondria includes outer and inner membranes made of lipid and proteins. The chloroplast is a lens shaped in structure and enveloped in membranes called as stroma which contains DNA, ribosomes and enzymes. Flat and connected sacs known as thylakoid are present in units known as granum which contains chlorophyll. The chlorophyll captures the sunlight and converts and stores it in the form of ATP.

Q. Membrane surface area and cell volume are two physical variables that are relevant in explaining the difference in size and complexity between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Which of the following statements about these variables is correct?
The ratio of plasma membrane area to total cell volume increased in early eukaryotes which allowed for greater morphological complexity.
The total membrane area dedicated to oxidative phosphorylation is greater in eukaryotes.
Although physically smaller, prokaryotic cells have more total cell volume than a typical eukaryotic cell.
In prokaryotic cells, the membrane location of ATP synthase is the same as that for glucose import.
