Chloroplasts use visible light to fix carbon (obtained from carbon dioxide) into sugars. They are found in plants as well as small organisms.

Mitochondria break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and create energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
the mitochondria change chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use while the chloroplast is the only organelle that can trap the energy of sunlight and convert it into chemical energy.
