It is partially correct, as chloroplasts are the organelles responsible of photosyntesis, which allow plants to produce their own food as plants are autotrophic organisms. To sum up, chloroplasts are only present in plants.

On the other side, mitochondrias are both present on animals and in plants too, as this organelle is where the cell respiration takes place, necessary process for obtaining energy in the form of ATP, molecule used in all living organisms.
