## Mitochondrion ## Mitochondrion
- **Plural is "mitochondria"** - **Plural is "mitochondria"**
- Contains an inner and outer membrane - Contains an inner and outer membrane
- Processes glucose + oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide + adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - Processes glucose + oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide + adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
- ATP allows proteins to do things (e.g., spend 1 ATP break 1 molecule)
- ATP cannot be stored
- Mitochondria have their own DNA
## Cytoskeleton
- Made of protein filaments
- Maintains and changes cell structure, much like a human skeleton + muscular system
- Moves cells
- Chemicals can travel along cytoskeleton, e.g., organelles, vesicles, etc.
## Organelles specific to animal cells
### Centrioles and centrosomes
- Made of same protein as cytoskeleton
- A centrosome is a pair of centrioles
- Very important to cell division
- Split chromosomes apart after DNA has been replicated into daughter cells
- Helps regulate cell division
- Create cilia and flagella (e.g., small hair-like things that swipe dirt out of lungs and tails of sperm, respectively)
### Lysosomes
## Organelles specific to plant cells
### Cell wall
- Provides structure and prevents cell rupture
- Can be tough, flexible, and/or rigid
- Permeable to small molecules
- Made of cellulose (type of sugar)
- Also present in most bacteria, fungi, and protists
### Central vacuole
- Extremely large, may take up to 90% of volume in cell
- Contains water
- Maintains turgor pressure against cell wall (pushes against cell wall in all directions)
### Chloroplasts
- Conduct photosynthesis
- All chlorophyll is located in chloroplasts
- Looks green
