Mitochondrion

It is present in only the eukaryote. It is present in both the animal and plant cell. The mitochondrion looks like a rod or its in the shape of a rod. It converts sugar into ATP (which is just a fancy word for energy), which the cell then uses for energy. The mitochondrion is like money. The economy needs it, which it is then used to make the country stronger and wealthier. The mitochondrion can also be like a big brother. I can relate to this as my big brother may protect me.

Phosphorylation. The first process, Glycolysis, is basically where the reactants are being broken down into a compound known as pyruvate. This actually happens in the cytosol, then once glucose is broken down into pyruvate, and as it enters the mitochondrion it gets oxidized. After that, it now enters the next step, the Citric-Acid Cycle. During this time, the glucose is finally being broken down into carbon dioxide. That means that during the first two steps of cellular respiration, there are…

). Finally, in this stage, high energy electrons are transferred to molecules of NAD to produce two molecules of NADH. The NADH is used in stage 3 of the process to make more ATP. Furthermore, in stage 2, the molecules enter the matrix of the mitochondrion, where they begin the citric acid cycle. This cycle pyruvic acid, which contains 3 carbon atoms, is split apart and combined with oxygen from carbon dioxide and released as a waste product. Electrons filled with energy are also released and…

Organisms: Eukarya Terms: (u CARE ee uh) contains complex organisms (the eukaryotes) that have cells with nuclei. Eukarya, organisms include protists, plants, animals and fungi Eukaryotic cells are larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. In addition to a nucleus, they contain many other internal structures (organelles), including mitochondria and chloroplasts. Importance to Evolution: Eukarya are important to evolution these cells are considered a milestone in the…

They have a double membrane structure the outer membrane defines the external shape of the mitochondrion. The inner membrane has many folds and cristae. The volume between the inner and outer membranes is the intermembrane space. The volume enclosed by the inner membrane is called the matrix of the mitochondrion. The function of the mitochondria is the production of ATP. Chloroplast, structure within the cells of plants and green algae that is the…

I. The most basic unit of life is the cell. All living things are composed of cells. Cells may only from through a process of division and replication of previously existing cells. Cells are microscopic; however their structure is complex. All types of cells possess a plasma membrane which separates its contents from its surroundings. . There are two types of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. a. Prokaryotic cells are simpler than eukaryotic cells. Within prokaryotic cells are bacteria cells…

provides more protection to the cell. Centrosome: helps the cell divide. Cytoplasm: organelles are located within this jelly-like structure. Golgi Body: produces membranes that surround the lysosomes. Lysosome: enzymes that digest cell nutrients. Mitochondrion:…

Each person has their own unique DNA that makes them different from others. The scientists had invented the DNA analysis procedures which helps to bring down the criminals due to the DNA that they left behind the scene. These techniques are collecting the DNA specimen and extracting DNA from the specimen. In addition, other areas such as immunohistochemistry (IHC) and forensic chemistry also help the investigators to complete their jobs. DNA analysis is also used to prove the relationship…

eukaryotes have chloroplasts; it has been proposed that endosymbiosis occurred twice. First, a larger host cell took in an aerobic heterotrophic prokaryote. The prokaryote co-evolved with the host, eventually becoming something like a mitochondrion. Next, a mitochondrion-containing cell took in a photosynthetic prokaryote. This model of eukaryote origins is called serial…

P5 List of all cell features and functions: • Nucleus • Cytoplasm • Cell membrane • Mitochondria • Ribosomes • Cell wall (Plant Cell) • Endoplasmic Reticulum (smooth & rough) • Lysosome • Golgi Apparatus/body • Nucleolus • Vesicles A nucleus is like the brain of the cell, it is a large oval which controls the activities of the cell and the nucleus also contains genetic material (DNA). The nucleus also contains hereditary information. Most chemical processes and reactions, which are…
