I. Introduction During the past 100 years, two types of cellular organelles have been fascinated by microbiologists. The first is mitochondria called 'strong cell'. The second is a chloroplast of plant cells that function like mitochondria. What did these organelles do? What are the similarities and differences between these organelles? This article will help you to understand these two attractive organelles. II. Mitochondrial mitochondria are small cytoplasmic organelles.
Comparison of chloroplast and mitochondria: Both chloroplast and mitochondria produce ATP by chemical components, but the energy source is different. Mitochondria transmits chemical energy from food to ATP. Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy of ATP. Mitochondria are found in animal cells, and chloroplasts are found in plant cells. In mitochondria, protons are transported into the intermembrane space to promote ATP synthesis. In the chloroplast, protons are pumped up into thylakoid space and promote ATP synthesis as they diffuse back into the matrix
Mitochondria and chloroplast are two organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Chloroplasts exist only in plants, but most eukaryotic cells have mitochondria. Despite the discovery of two organelles in eukaryotic cells, both mitochondria and chloroplasts have general characteristics in prokaryotic cells. Comparison of chloroplast and mitochondria: Both chloroplast and mitochondria produce ATP by chemical components, but the energy source is different. Mitochondria transmits chemical energy from food to ATP. Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy of ATP. Mitochondria are found in animal cells, and chloroplasts are found in plant cells. In mitochondria, protons are transported into the intermembrane space to promote ATP synthesis.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts: to produce energy for cells. Mitochondria are autonomously replicating organelles that appear in different numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells. Breathing occurs in the mitochondria of the cell and uses oxygen to release energy stored in the cell's nutrient (usually associated with glucose) to produce cellular energy by oxidative phosphorylation, which produces ATP. Mitochondria multiply by proliferation such as procaryotic. Chloroplasts are found only in plants and algae, capturing the energy of the sun and making carbohydrates by photosynthesis.
