Mitochandria and Chloraplast

For the past 2 days in science we've been looking at pictures of the mitochondria and the chloroplast. Both the chloroplast and the mitochondria have an inner and outer membrane, and are similar in shape. Did you know that the mitochondria is found in lots of different kinds of cells, but the chloroplast is only found in plants and organisms that use photosynthesis?

Purpose of the Chloroplast: to absorb an energy from the sun called C02, and use it to convert carbon dioxide into an energy rich sugar called glucose. The glucose is then sent to the mitochondrion.

Purpose of the Mitochondrion:

Once the mitochondrion receives the glucose it goes to the inner membrane called the cristae. During a reaction of cellular respiration, the mitochondrion controls the energy within the glucose to make ATP. ATP is like a battery and will be sent and used in other parts of the cell.
