![Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the energy-processing organelles of eukaryotic cells. Both organelles
contain outer and inner membranes. The inner membrane of the mitochondrion contains many folds.
The chloroplasts have a third membrane forming the thylakoids. Molecules such as enzymes
responsible for the synthesis of ATP are embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion and the
thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast.
