Cell Energy and Organelles (Golgi, Mitochondria, Cytoskeleton)

A set of Q&A flashcards covering the Golgi body appearance, ATP and aerobic respiration, energy transformation from food to ATP, the phone analogy, and the cytoskeleton based on the notes.

What does the Golgi body look like?

A stack of membranes, like pancakes.

What accompanies the Golgi body in the notes?

Incoming vesicles.

What is aerobic respiration?

The process of converting the food you eat into energy usable by cells, in the form of ATP.

What is ATP?

The energy currency of the cell.

Can energy be obtained directly from food by cells?

No; energy from food must first be converted into ATP within the mitochondria.

Where is ATP produced in the cell?

In the mitochondria through aerobic respiration.

How is energy from power plants related to charging a phone in the notes' analogy?

Power plants burn fuels to generate electricity; this electricity powers your phone, illustrating energy conversion from fuel to electricity to a device.

What is the cytoskeleton?

A network of fibers that extends throughout the cytoplasm.
