New cards

Mitochondria

Break down sugar to make ATP (cellular respiration) — found in almost all eukaryotic cells.

2
New cards

Chloroplasts

Build sugar using light (photosynthesis) — found only in plant and algae cells.

3
New cards

Same membrane trick

Both use an electron transport chain to pump H+ across a membrane, then let it flow back through ATP synthase to make ATP.

4
New cards

Key difference #1

Mitochondria pump H+ from matrix to intermembrane space; chloroplasts pump H+ from stroma into the thylakoid space.

5
New cards

Key difference #2

Mitochondria take electrons FROM food; chloroplasts get electrons FROM water split by light.

6
New cards

Key difference #3

Mitochondrial final electron acceptor is oxygen; chloroplasts' electrons end up in NADPH.
