I believe they are both 5 yards. I could be wrong though.
I thought so, but there's times ill hear them say 10 yrd penalty automatic 1st down or something, so it always confuses me if there's an addental factor that decides it.

Offsides and false starts are both 5 yards.

Holding is 10 yards on offense, 5 yards and a first down on defense.

The only thing I can think of is lining up directly in front of the long-snapper on a kick. Not sure what the penalty is, though.
