Answer
Mitochondria: The mitochondria are tiny bodies of varying shapes and size. Each mitochondria is bounded by a double membrane envelope. Outer membrane is porous. The inner membrane is thrown into folds. These folds are called cristae and are studded with small rounded bodies known as $F_1$ particles or oxysomes. The interior cavity of the mitochondria is filled with a proteinaceous matrix which contains a few small$-$sized ribosomes, a circular $ \text{DNA}$ molecule and phosphate granules. Mitochondria are sites of cellular respiration.
Plastids: Plastids occur in most plant cells and are absent in animal cells. They have their own genome and ribosomes. There are three types of plastids: chromoplasts, chloroplasts and leucoplasts.
