The inner membrane of the mitochondria is very folded and convoluted. This provides increased surface area for increased reaction rate. In Biology, the faster the reaction rate, the better. Therefore, many processes have evolved traits that allow for increased surface area.
Most ATPs (~36) in cell respiration are produced through oxidative phosphorylation in the Electron Transport Chain and chemiosmosis. Both the ETC and ATP synthase (provides for chemiosmosis) are part of the inner mitochondrial membrane. More surface area in the membrane means more ATPs.
The mitochondria of the cell produce ATP. In plant cells, the chloroplast would make ATP and in human cells the mitochondria produces the ATP.
ATP fuels the mitochondria in energy production.
ATP is produced within the mitochondria of the cell through a process called cellular respiration. The mitochondria is often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell due to its role in generating energy in the form of ATP.

The primary site for ATP production is the mitochondria. There are a few ATP produced in the cytosol as a result of the Kreb cycle, but those are very few compared to those produced in the mitochondria.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have ATP because they allow the production of ATP within them.
Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, producing ATP for the cell, whereas chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy for the plant. Mitochondria have a double membrane structure, while chloroplasts have a triple membrane structure. Mitochondria contain cristae to increase surface area for ATP production, while chloroplasts have thylakoid membranes for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
After the protons pumps in the mitochondria that have depleted the electrons of the energy the ATP production will reduce.
Chemical energy production in the form of ATP
ATP is produced in the mitochondria.
ATP is primarily produced in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells through a process called cellular respiration. The key organelles involved in ATP production are the inner membrane of the mitochondria where the electron transport chain is located, and the matrix of the mitochondria where the Krebs cycle occurs.
