A chloroplast is about 5 micrometres long and a mitochondrion about 1 micrometre. How many times longer is the chloroplast?

  • A.2.5 times
  • B.50 times
  • C.5 times
  • D.25 times

Answer: C

Dividing 5 by 1 gives five. Comparing volumes rather than lengths would give a much larger factor, since volume scales with the cube of the linear dimension. Chloroplasts are correspondingly bulkier organelles than mitochondria.
