## Mitochondrion
|
||||
- **Plural is "mitochondria"**
|
||||
- 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
