Chloroplasts are located in the cytoplasm of plants cells whilst Mitochondria are found in animal cells.

In short, they both produce ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is like the "currency" of energy for a living organism. You can think of them as little power stations for the cell.

Chloroplasts produce ATP by the Hills cycle in the cyclic-photophosphorylation process of the light dependant reaction of Photosynthesis.

Mitochondria produce ATP via the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. This process is more complex than photosynthesis in my opinion. It's basically the conversion of a glucose molecule into 36 ATP (different websites will give different values like 32, 34 or 38).

I hope this helps steer you in the right direction. :) It's quite a complex question and I wasn't sure how detailed you wanted me to go.
