mitochondria
organelle that carries out cellular respiration in nearly all eukaryotic cells
cellular respiration
converts the chemical energy in foods to chemical energy in ATP
2 internal compartments of mitochondria
the intermembrane space is the narrow region between the inner and outer membranes
the mitochondrial matrix containing the mitochondrial DNA, ribosomes, and many enzymes that catalyze some of the reactions of cellular respiration
chloroplasts
the photosynthesizing organelles of all photosynthesizing eukaryotes
photosynthesis
conversion of light energy from the sun to the chemical energy of sugar molecules
chloroplast’’ compartments
between the outer and inner membrane is a thin intermembrane space
inside the inner membrane is…
stroma, thylakoids, & granum
stroma
thick fluid that contains the chloroplasts’ DNA
thylakoids
network of interconnected sacs
granum
stacks of thylakoids where green chlorophyll molecules trap solar energy
mitochondria & chloroplasts
have DNA + ribosomes
have structure that is very similar to that found in prokaryotes
endosymbiont theory
proposes that mitochondria and chloroplasts were formerly small prokaryotes and they began living with larger cells
