CHLOROPLASTS & MITOCHONDRIA
DO NOW 11/1:
FIRST: Take out SUPER-IMPORTANT cell parts chart
The population of the world is now 7.0 x 109! Write in standard notation
If the population of the US is 3.5 x 108, what % of the world population is here in the US?
The Basics: Chloroplasts STRUCTURE: A bean-shaped green
organelle with lots of membranes inside.
FUNCTION: Photosynthesis (capture light energy to build carbohydrates)CO2 + H2O + light CH2O + O2
***PLANTS ONLY!!!
The Basics: Mitochondria STRUCTURE: A bean-shaped organelle
with lots of membranes inside.
FUNCTION: Cellular Respiration (break down food to get the energy)CH2O + O2 CO2 + H2O + energy
***All Eukaryotic cells, including plants
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are Energy Converters
Mitochondria RELEASE the energy stored in food
Chloroplasts CAPTURE the energy of sunlight
Endosymbiosis Endosymbiotic Theory: plastids (e.g.
chloroplasts) and mitochondria are the descendents of once free-living prokaryotes that were internalized by a larger cell.
What about human technology? Humans have developed technology
that allow us to release lots of energy originally captured by ancient chloroplasts.
In other words,
WE BURN FOSSIL FUELS
