Comparing
Differences between Mitochondria and Chloroplast
the points across each other are comparisons.
Chloroplast
Electrons go from a higher to a lower energy level and are ultimately passed to oxygen forming water
Electrons come from glucose move through the electron transport chain towards oxygen, releasing energy at each step which is captured as ATP
Has electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane which accepts and pass along energy-carrying electrons
Responsible for the anabolic reactions that requires energy to release energy
with the use of NADP
Solar/light energy into chemical energy sugar
Stored energy and uses CO2 and H2O to produce glucose
The two chambers are the stroma and thylakoid
Releases oxygen
Uses sunlight to produce glucose (ATP)
The overall reaction its involved in is cellular respiration
Present in green plants and green algae
Develops last
Smooth inner membrane
Green in colour
Disc shape
Mitochondria
Electrons go between the two photosystems; photosystem I generating NADPH, photosystem II generating ATP
Electron come from the splitting of water, which releases oxygen as a waste product or they come from the chloroplast electron transport chain
Has electron transport chain in the inner membrane of the mitochondria accepting electrons like NADH and FADH2
Electron carrier molecules are arranged in electron transport chains
Responsible for the catabolic reactions that release or uses energy
with the use of NAD
Chemical energy sugar into ATP
Energy released by breaking down organic food, CO2 and H2O
The two chambers are the matrix and cristae
Consumes oxygen
Uses oxygen to produce ATP
The overall reaction its involved in is photosynthesis
present in cell of all types of aerobic organisms
Develops first
Folded inner membrane
Colourless
Bean shape
