Mitochondria basics
What is the main job of the mitochondria?
what is producing energy?
Are mitochondria found in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
what is both
What process happens inside the mitochondria to make ATP?
what is cellular respiration?
This part of the cell is like the brain and gives instructions to the mitochondria.
What is the nucleus?
This is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle to produce energy for the cell.
What is to make ATP?
what is the nickname of the mitochondria
what is the powerhouse of the cell?
True or False: Mitochondria have their own DNA.
what is true
What gas is needed for mitochondria to produce energy?
what is oxygen
These tiny workers make proteins that help the mitochondria do its job.
What are ribosomes?
The Krebs cycle takes place inside this part of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
what form of energy does the mitochondria produce
What is ATP? ( adenosine triphosphate?)
what part of the cell surrounds the mitochondria
what is the double membrane?
Name one waste product made during cellular respiration
what is carbon dioxide?
The mitochondria gives energy to this organelle so it can package and send proteins.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This is the name for the final electron acceptor at the end of the ETC. It is essential for aerobic respiration.
What is Oxygen?
This part of the cell is known as the “powerhouse” because it makes ATP.
What is the mitochondria?
Which membrane in the mitochondria is folded into cristae?
what is the inner membrane?
What are the three main steps of cellular respiration?
what are gycolysis,Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain?
This part of the cell helps make fats, and it uses energy from the mitochondria.
What is the smooth ER?
This process, derived from the Greek words for "chemical" and "osmosis" describes how the ETC uses a proton gradient to drive ATP synthesis.
What is the chemiosmosis?
How many membranes does a mitochondrion have
What is two membranes
These folds in the inner membrane of the mitochondria increase surface area for making ATP.
What are cristae?
where does the electron transport chain take place?
what is the inner mitochondrial membrane?
When mitochondria get old or break, this part of the cell cleans them up.
What is the lysosome?
This molecule starts the Krebs cycle by combining with oxaloacetate.
What is acetyl-CoA?
