Energy Transformation
Site of cell respiration in animal cells, contains some of its own DNA
What is the Mitochrondia?
Green pigment found in chloroplasts
What is Chlorophyll?
Channels that connect plant cells
What is the Plasmodesmata?
Site of photosynthesis (using solar energy to synthesize organic compounds ex. sugar from CO2 and H2O)
What are Chloroplasts?
Flattened, interconnected sacs
What are Thylakoids?
Provides mechanical support & maintains shape of cell, can be disassembled and reassembled/change shape (especially important in animal cells)
What is the Cytoskeleton?
Theory: A cell engulfed an O2-using and/or non-O2 using prokaryote - evolved so host and prokaryote merged into a single organism
What is the Endosymbiont Theory?
Bonus: O2-using = mitochondria and non-O2-using = chloroplast
Stack of Thylakoids
What are Granums?
Transports Vesicles within the cell
What are Motor Proteins?
_________ is the inner folds of the mitochondrial membrane, ___________ contains the EZs, DNA, and Ribosomes within the mitochondria
What are Cristae and Matrix
Fluid, contains DNA and ribosomes
What is Stroma?
"tracks" for organelles with motor proteins, separate chromosomes in cell division
What are Microtubules?
Main function is metabolism, other functions include oxidation reactions like embryogenesis, seedling growth, and stomata opening
What are Peroxisomes?
_________________ are used in animal cells division and are made of Microtubules - two of these make the __________________
What are Centrioles and Centrosome?
