Chloroplasts are the organelles of the plant cell that convert light energy into energy to make food for the plant. Animals don't make their energy from sunlight. Mitochondria must therefore take in energy from another source: the food you eat.

Both make Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP), which is what carries energy to all the parts of your cells. Both types of organelle also have their own genes, which are completely different from the genes that code for the animal/plant/bacteria itself. That's why matching mitochondrial DNA is the very best way to tell who your mother is, because the mitochondria you have are all directly descended to the ones that were in her egg cell.
