Mitochondria (Mayweather) Vs.

Chloroplast (McGregor)

Mitochondrion
Chloroplast
found in almost all cells They both create ATP for their
usually found in plants and unicellular organisms
converts chemical energy (sugar) into respective organisms
another form of chemical energy (ATP), converts solar/light energy into chemical energy
Electron transport chain (sugar)
which is simpler and could be used by the
cell convert energy process is photosynthesis: composed of Light
process is cellular respiration: composed Reactions and Calvin Cycle
of Glycolysis, electron transport chain, have its own DNA has three compartments(parts): thylakoids (traps
and Oxidative Phosphorylation (Kreb sunlight), granum (pl: grana; stacks of
enclosed by two membranes
Cycles) thylakoids), stroma (fluid inside the outer membrane,
has two compartments. Crista (pl:cristae) is water which interacts with the cytoplasm. It surrounds the
the compartment formed by the inner and granum and thylakoids
outer membrane of the mitochondria; it is the oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide Creates oxygen and uses carbon dioxide.
layer of folds in the mitochondria and is (CO2) are involved in its processes
studded with proteins. The other Slightly different molecules
compartment is called matrix; it is the fluid have fluids inside of it As two different reactions to create
inside the foldings (cristae).
Use water
Uses oxygen and creates carbon dioxide
