mitochondria and chloroplast Flashcards
1
Q
Mitochandria is
A
is an organelle that harness energy from a chemical compound/sugars to ATP
2
Q
How is ATP synthesized in mitochondria?
A
- In the inner membrane a proton electrochemical gradient is created for ATP to use
- Sugars break down and oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is released.
3
Q
Chloroplast
A
- captures energy from the sunlight
4
Q
Photosynthesis is a process where
A
chloroplast captures sunlight to break down sugars. Resulting in oxygen being released as a waste product
5
Q
Thylakoid
A
is a membrane that surrounds chloroplast, it produces chlorophyll pigments
6
Q
Chlorophyl
A
is a pigment that helps chloroplast collect energy from the sun
7
Q
Where is mitochondria for plants stored?
A
in the chloroplast
