mitochondrion & Chloroplast

Mitochondrion and Chloroplast are designed a certain way because they both have a specific purpose. Mitochondria, for example, are known for being the "power house" of the cell. They use their inner membrane (called Cristae) to gather the energy that is in the sugar (glucose) make ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) in a reaction called cellular respiration.

And it's Chloroplast that creates the glucose by changing the sun's energy into carbon dioxide in a reaction called photosynthesis. Yes, chloroplast are only found In plants and photosynthetic things. They have a granum which has thylakoid membranes (that's where photosynthesis happens).

So although both mitochondria and chloroplast are very efficent in. Their own ways, they do different things. Chloroplast makes the energy,Mitochondria is given it by the Chloroplast and them uses it (powers the cell). Above there is a picture of a chloroplast and the parts of the chloroplast to show how it works the way it does. for example, it shows the granum and the thylakoids as I mentioned before, and other parts.
