Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are similar in size and features to prokaryotes. The deep folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane, called cristae, resemble the folds in the prokaryotic cell, called mesosomes. Both cristae and mesosomes function in aerobic cellular respiration.
