Consider the structures and functions of mitochondria and chloroplasts. For each of the statements below, identify which part(s) of the chloroplast or mitochondrion (identified by letters in the figure below) are described. Some answers may include more than 1 letter. In those cases, separate the letters by a single space (eg. c g)
Electron transport chains are located in ------
Photosystem I and II are located in -------
Ubiquinone is located in -------
NADPH is produced in ------
Pyruvate oxidation takes place in ------
ATP is produced in ------
NAD+ is produced in -----
High H+ concentration is produced in -----
O2 is produced in -----
RuBP is produced in ------
Describe two common characteristics of chloroplasts and mitochondria. Consider both function and membrane structure.
It has been estimated that mitochondria occupy 20% of the volume in the human body. For a 70- kg adult, the average number of mitochondria has been estimated to be 1 × 10 (10,000 trillion). Using this information, provide a rough estimate of the average mass of a mitochondrion.
