New cards

what are the 6 membrane bound organelles

mitochondria

endoplasmic reticulum

golgi apparatus lysosomes

nucleus

vacuoles

2
New cards

describe the process and locaiton of ATP production

in the mitochondria

3
New cards

what are the folded structures on mitochondria vs

the folded structures on the golgi apperatus / endoplasmic reticulum

cristae = mitochondria

cisternae = endoplasmic reticulum / golgi apperatus

4
New cards

organelle that produces its own DNA separate from whats in the nucleus

mitochondria

5
New cards

describe the structure of the mitochondria

  • outer membrane = selective barrier

  • intermembrane = fluid filled gap between outer and inner membrane

  • inner membrane = inner wall with folds called cristae where ATP is produced

6
New cards

what is the folded inner wall in the mitochondria called

cristae

7
New cards

which layer of the mitochondrial membrane are the cristae in

to increase surface area available to produce more energy

9
New cards

innermost chamber inside of innermembrane of mitochondria is called …

mitochondrial matrix

10
New cards

what are the two things that the mitochondrial matrix contains

ribosome and genes unique to the mitochondria

11
New cards

describe the process of how ATP is made

  1. electron transport chain inside the cristae of the inner membrane pump hydrogen protons (H+) into intermembrane

  2. this creates a high concentration gradient called proton motive force where the protons are trying to go from high concentration in the intermembrane to lower concentration in the matrix of the innermembrane

  3. to move down the gradient into the matrix, they need the enzyme ATP synthase

  4. ATP synthase enzymes are like windmills, and as the H+ protons move down the gradient, the windmill turns, causing ADP to phosphorylate (which just means that a phosphate group is added to ADP turning it into ATP)

12
