Mitochondria and
Chloroplasts
Anais, Samantha,
Ryan and Ben
Location and Structure:
Chloroplast
Located: Cytoplasm only in plant cells
Structure: disc shaped organelle
Components:
• Stroma
• Granum
• Intermembrane Space
• Inner membrane
• Outer Membrane
Function
• Photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplasts
transforming the sun’s energy into food for plants.
Creates glucose and carbohydrates that they can
store for later use.
• Chlorophyll inside the chloroplast makes the plant
green
Location and Structure
• Location: in the chlorophyll of both plant and
animal cells enclosed within outer and inner
membranes
• Structure: rod shaped organelle made of
phospholipids and proteins
Components:
• Cristae
• Matrix
• Inner membrane
• Outer membrane
Function
• Production of energy needed for the cell
• The only place inside your cells where
carbohydrate, fat, and protein can be broken
down in the presence of oxygen to create the
energy you need
