Concept explainers
(a)
To illustrate: The relationship among the membrane and compartments of mitochondria.
Introduction: A cell is the smallest structural, functional, and biological unit of all living organisms. It contains different organelles to carry out different functions. Some cells are specific to their functions. Unicellular organisms are raised from a single cell, but, multi-cellular organisms are raised from many cells.
(b)
To illustrate: The relationship among the membrane and compartments of chloroplast.
Introduction: A cell is the smallest structural, functional, and biological unit of all living organisms. It contains different organelles to carry out different functions. Some cells are specific to their functions. Unicellular organisms are raised from a single cell, but, multi-cellular organisms are raised from many cells.
To choose: The appropriate labels for mitochondria and chloroplast.

- Compare structures and cellular processes of chloroplasts with the structures and cellular processes of mitochondria. This task is an opportunity for you to show the best of your learning from the first half of this Unit. Summarize the differences and similarities between chloroplasts and mitochondria. A comprehensive comparison should include the following details: structures, electrons, transport of substrates across membranes, locations within the cell and with the organelle, membranes, biochemical reactions, roles of O2 and H2O, regulation and other ways to change the rate of the metabolic process.arrow_forwardDescribe two common characteristics of chloroplasts and mitochondria. Consider both function and membrane structure.arrow_forwardTea Study the diagram below showing organelles found in a cell. A B 3.2.1 Write down the LETTER only of the part that: (a) Contains chlorophyll (1) (b) Has a secretory function (1) .2 State TWO organic compounds that make up part E. (2) State TWO visible reasons why this diagram represents a plant cell. (2) Explain ONE consequence if the organelle D is damaged. (2) List TWO functions of organelle A. (2) (10arrow_forward
- The organelle shown is used by plants to carry out photosynthesis. What is the name of the organelle? - A Mitochondria B) Cytoplasm Cell membrane ) Chloroplastarrow_forwardFrom memory, draw two eukaryotic cells. Label the structures listed here and show any physical connections between the internal structures of each cell: nucleus, rough ER, smooth ER, mitochondrion, centrosome, chloroplast, vacuole, lysosome,microtubule, cell wall, ECM,microfilament, Golgi apparatus,intermediate filament, plasma membrane, peroxisome, ribosome, nucleolus, nuclear pore, vesicle,flagellum, microvilli, plasmodesma.arrow_forwardDescribe the journey of a carbon atom. Begin with it as atmospheric CO2 and end with it as part of a cell wall molecule in a root. Describe a) the structures through which the C atom moves, b) the reason it moves, and c) any cellular process with which it is involvedarrow_forward
- Draw neat diagrams of chloroplast and mitochondria label the parts indicating theproducts (glucose and ATP) in the organelle.arrow_forwardProvide a detailed description of the role of "Plant cell organelle #12" in cells.arrow_forwardDetermine whether the statement is true or false. State the answer directly, no need to explain. 1. Chlorophyll is the solar energy-capturing organelle derived from photosynthetic bacteria. 2. Proteins embedded on the plasma membrane may also transport some molecules to and outside the cell. 3. Nuclear envelope is a double membrane with pores that separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell. 4. Eukaryotic cells are considered the first cell type on Earth and are the cell type of bacteria and archaea. 5. Cell wall surrounds plasma membrane which is common among plants, fungi and many protists. 6. Ribosomes direct the synthesis of RNA. 7. The cytoskeleton is a network of interconnected membranes that helps move substances within the cell.arrow_forward
