Q

List in the correct order the movement of a “protein” via the endomembrane system (the organelles involved) that’s going
to leave the cell.

A

-Endomembrane system:

Nuclear Envelope → Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) → Transport vesicles → Golgi Apparatus → Secretory Vesicles → Plasma membrane (or lysosomes or vacuoles)

Note:
Protein moves through the Endomembrane system (Nuclear envelope)

1) protein made it to Rough ER - synthesizes protein. 2) Protein packaged into transport vesicle. 3) Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages protein into secretory vesicle. 4) plasma membrane

Explains:
Rough ER: This is where most proteins are initially made, like building blocks on a construction site.
Vesicles: Tiny bubbles that carry the protein from the ER to the Golgi.
Golgi apparatus: This is where the protein gets further modified and “labeled” for where it needs to go in the cell.

Q

How are chloroplast and mitochondria similar?

Chloroplast involves in photosynthesis and gets their energy from where and what does it convert to?

Mitochondria use oxygen to break down and generate what?

A

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are similar because:

  • both are double-membrane bound organelles that contain their own DNA
  • ribosomes
  • and are capable of producing energy for the cell

Note -
Function:
Chloroplasts are specifically involved in photosynthesis, using SUNLIGHT to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose,

Mitochondria use oxygen to break down glucose and generate ATP.

Location:
Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells, while mitochondria are present in almost all eukaryotic cells.

Q

What evidence supports the theory that chloroplast and mitochondria are evolved prokaryotic organisms?

A

-The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes.

-Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells and divide by binary fission.

-Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA which is circular, not linear

Note:
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA, which is similar to the DNA of Bacteria.

[A Bacteria prokaryote, has circular DNA, as do mitochondria and chloroplasts. This provides support for the Endosymbiotic Theory, which states that the mitochondria and chloroplast in eukaryotic cells were once aerobic bacteria (prokaryote) that were ingested by a large anaerobic bacteria (prokaryote)].

Process: Breaks down glucose into pyruvate

Energy production: Generates a small amount of ATP and NADH

61
Q

How is the ATP made in the Krebs cycle?

A

Substrate-level phosphorylation

The trapped energy from the citric acid cycle is then passed on to oxidative phosphorylation, where it is converted to a usable form of cellular energy, ATP

In the Krebs cycle, ATP is produced through a process called “substrate-level phosphorylation” where a high-energy phosphate group is directly transferred to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to form ATP.

62
Q

A

The final electron acceptor is Oxygen

63

Where does the reduction of oxygen to form water take place?

A

Electron Transport Chain (ETC) and Oxidative phosphorylation (OP)

(The reduction of oxygen to form water takes place within the electron transport chain, which is a part of the oxidative phosphorylation stage during cellular respiration, specifically located on the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes.)

70
Q

Carbon dioxide is released during which stages of cellular respiration?

A

Grooming phase & Krebs cycle

71
Q

Where are the proteins of the electron transport chain and ATP synthase located?

A

Inner membrane of the mitochondria

72
Q

Why is the inner mitochondrial membrane folded (called cristae) and the outer member not folded?

A

-inner membrane Folded to produce more ATP

-outer membrane is double layered and needs nothing

The folding of the inner membrane increases the membrane surface area inside the organnelle. Since many of the chemical reactions e.g. Cellular respiration (ETC and Chemiosmosis) occur in the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for the reactions to occur.
It is just reasonable that the more the space, the more the work that can be done.

Mitochondria have folding to increase surface area, which in turn increases ATP. It increases the surface area.

73
Q

The ATP made during both fermentation processes is generated by _____

A

substrate-level phosphorylation

73
Q
