Compare the structure and functions of mitochondria and chloroplasts?

The structures of these two organelles are easily recognizable. They both have two membranes, and the inside of the chloroplast also has stacks of membrane disks that are individually called thylakoids and collectively called grana.

The functions of these two organelles are fundamental opposites:
1. The chloroplast builds glucose in order to store energy for the cell. It uses carbon dioxide and water and releases oxygen during this process of photosynthesis.
2. The mitochondrion breaks glucose down in order to get the energy out to make ATP. ATP is what the cells use directly for energy for any cell processes. The process uses glucose and oxygen and releases carbon dioxide and water during cellular respiration.

Seems like you got the most of it. Add these as well. - Both of them are considered as a product of endosymbiosis theory. - Mitochondria is present in heterotrophic as well as autotrophic cells, but chloroplasts are found only in autotrophic cells. - Mitochondria uses water, chloroplasts produce water. Hope this helps !!

Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are similar because they both produce ATP (energy, basically). Mitochondria, unlike Chloroplast, produces ATP through a process known as Cellular Respiration while Chloroplast produces ATP through a process known as photosynthesis.
