They are involved in energy conversion. But their difference in structure and functionally are: Mitochondria have cristae but chloroplasts contain chlorophyll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitochondria release energy from food through cellular respiration, but chloroplasts make foods by using photosynthesis and Store energy in the form of glucose .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is Mitochondria<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitochondria is a small and double bound membrane found in both animal and plant cell. It is also knows as powerhouse of the cell because it produce energy for the cell. It also make energy in the form of ATP as well as release energy in the during cellular respiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has two membrane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inner membrane \u2013 It is Smooth and protective.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outer membrane \u2013 It has a many irregular folded like structure called Cristea which is responsible for energy production.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is Chloroplast<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chloroplast is a small organelles that is found in plant cell. It helps plant to make their own foods with the help of photosynthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It contains a green pigment called chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight, plant use the sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make their own foods and release oxygen as a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/1stmaster.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mitochondria-and-chloroplasts-are-two-important-organelles-in-a-plant-cell-853x1024.png\" alt=\"Mitochondria and chloroplasts are two important organelles in a plant cell\" class=\"wp-image-276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/1stmaster.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mitochondria-and-chloroplasts-are-two-important-organelles-in-a-plant-cell-853x1024.png 853w, https:\/\/1stmaster.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mitochondria-and-chloroplasts-are-two-important-organelles-in-a-plant-cell-250x300.png 250w, https:\/\/1stmaster.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mitochondria-and-chloroplasts-are-two-important-organelles-in-a-plant-cell-768x921.png 768w, https:\/\/1stmaster.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mitochondria-and-chloroplasts-are-two-important-organelles-in-a-plant-cell.webp 1145w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><button class=\"qa-collapse-block__toggle\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"qa-collapse-content-2\" hidden>Show More<\/button><\/section>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.0.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Mitochondria and chloroplasts are two important organelles in a plant cell.
