Abstract. Membrane bound inorganic pyrophosphatases (PPases) appear to play a role in energy metabolism (1,2). PPases are present in bacterial, plant and animal cells and cell organelles. Membrane bound PPases have been found in chromatophores (2), mitochondria (3) and chloroplasts (4). read more
One is a cell and the other a cell organelle, that's the main difference between a chromatophore and chloroplast. read more

A chromatophore organ is composed of a single chromatophore cell and numerous muscle, and controlling nerve cells. The pigment granules lie within the chromatophore cell. Chromatophores are pigment containing cells in camouflaging species. read more
