There are four basic types of mitochondria. Each type is distinguished by if or how ATP is produced. One mitochondrial type is found in the cells of mammals and respires carbon dioxide during pyruvate breakdown and ATP synthesis. End products are water and carbon dioxide. Another type of mitochondria is found in certain intestinal parasites. This type, called mitosomes, is small and inconspicuous and are not involved in ATP synthesis at all. As for chloroplasts, there is only one type. However, there are three different cholorplast genes that can exist based on RNA transcription.
