Mitochondrion: The Mitochondrion is often called the powerhouse of a cell. In the cristae an important reaction happens. The reaction is called cellular respiration, the mitochondria harnesses energy from the glucose to make a special type of energy called ATP. This type of energy will power the cells activities throughout the day.http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/sciences/zoology/AnimalPhysiology/Anatomy/AnimalCellStructure/Mitochondria

Chloroplast: The Chloroplast is the reason why plants are called self-feeders. During Photosynthesis the Chloroplast gets energy from the sun to make glucose. When it's made something important happens in the granum. The granum is like a stack of pancakes but it is actually a stack of thylakoid membranes. Plants will send the glucose to the Mitochondrion or store it in vacuoles.http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/cells/chloroplasts/images/chloroplastsfigure1.jpg

So without the Chloroplast the Mitochondrion would be useless and without the Mitochondrion the Chloroplast would be useless. So these two things are very important without them the cell will die. So I think they work perfectly and they shouldn’t change.
