The fundamental roles of plastids and mitochondria in energy transformations are to use the chlorophyll and other molecules built into the thylakoid membrane, capture the energy from the sunlight, produce ATP as well as other molecules split the water molecules and then release the oxygen from the leaves. Also the differences and similarities in basic transformation of energy between photosynthesis and cellular respiration some similarities in basic transformation of energy between photosynthesis and cellular respiration are that they both create and consume H20, Glucose, Oxygen and carbon dioxide also and the differences in cellular respiration breaks down food and releases energy to whereas photosynthesis uses the production of and captures food. And the role of ATP in a biochemical reaction is to break down ATP into ADP so they can re-join together and into ATP and re-form in a living cell.
