The Mitochondria is the power plant of the cell. In the inner membrane or cristae a very important reaction takes place. The reaction is called cellular respiration. The Mitochondria harnesses the energy from the glucose and it uses it to create a special energy called ATP. The ATP is the reason that the mitochondria is called the power plant organelle. The ATP acts like a batery that will power the rest of the cell.
The Chloroplast is the reason that plants are called self feeders or autotrophic. during photosynthesis the chloroplast uses the suns energy to create a sugar called glucose. The most important part of photosynthesis happens whithin the granum. The granum are the stacks of thykloid membrane inside the chloroplast.
