Mitochondria
The site of cellular respiration, a metabolic process that uses oxygen to create ATP.
Chloroplasts
Found in algae, it is the site of photosynthesis.
Peroxisomes
Oxidative organelles.
Similarities of Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
Enveloped by a double membrane, contains free ribosomes and circular DNA molecules, grows and reproduces somewhat independently in the cell.
Mitochondria Structure
Nearly in all eukaryotic cells, smooth outer membrane, inner membrane is called Cristae, intermembrane contains 2 compartments:Intermembrane space, Mitochondrial Matrix, Cristae present a large surface area for enzymes that synthesize ATP.
Chloroplasts Structure
Contain green pigment called chlorophyll, found in leaves and other green organs of plants in algae, chloroplasts contain:Thylakoids, stacks are called Granum, and Stroma internal fluid, chromosomes are a group of organelles called plastid.
Peroxisomes Structure
Specialized metabolic compartment bounded by a single membrane, produce hydrogen peroxide and convert it to water.
