Reece Chloroplast Lectures by Chris Romero 5 µm Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Concept 6.5: Mitochondria and chloroplasts change energy from one form to another • Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration • Chloroplasts, found only in plants and algae, are the sites of photosynthesis • Mitochondria and chloroplasts are not part of the endomembrane system • Peroxisomes are oxidative organelles Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Mitochondria: Chemical Energy Conversion • Mitochondria are in nearly all eukaryotic cells • They have a smooth outer membrane and an inner membrane folded into cristae • The inner membrane creates two compartments: intermembrane space and mitochondrial matrix • Some metabolic steps of cellular respiration are catalyzed in the mitochondrial matrix • Cristae present a large surface area for enzymes that synthesize ATP Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc.

Energy • The chloroplast is a member of a family of organelles called plastids • Chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll, as well as enzymes and other molecules that function in photosynthesis • Chloroplasts are found in leaves and other green organs of plants and in algae • Chloroplast structure includes: – Thylakoids, membranous sacs – Stroma, the internal fluid Copyright ©

Peroxisome Mitochondrion PowerPoint Lectures for Biology, Seventh Edition Neil Campbell and Jane Reece Lectures by Chris Romero 1 µm Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Summary -Microscopy and differential centrifugation are two powerful methods to examine cellular structure and function. -Optimal size for most cells is generally low to optimize surface area:volume ratio. -All cells have plasma membrane, cytosol, DNA and ribosomes. -Prokaryotic cells tend to be smaller than eukaryotic, and lack nuclei, cytoplasmic membranes systems and organelles. PowerPoint Lectures for Biology, Seventh Edition -Eukaryotic have Neil Campbellcells and Jane Reece evolved or acquired many membrane bound compartments for specialized functions.

plasma membrane • These extracellular structures include: – Cell walls of plants – The extracellular matrix (ECM) of animal cells – Intercellular junctions Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cell Walls of Plants • extracellular structure that distinguishes plant cells from animal cells • protects the plant cell, maintains its shape, and prevents excessive uptake of water • made of cellulose fibers embedded in other polysaccharides and protein Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Cell Walls of Plants • may have multiple layers: – Primary cell wall: relatively thin and flexible – Middle lamella: thin layer between primary walls of adjacent cells – Secondary cell wall (in some cells): added between the plasma

direct physical contact • Three types of intercellular junctions facilitate this contact Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Animals: Tight Junctions, Desmosomes, and Gap Junctions • Tight junctions – membranes of neighboring cells are pressed together, preventing leakage of extracellular fluid • Desmosomes (anchoring junctions) – fasten cells together into strong sheets • Gap junctions (communicating junctions) – provide cytoplasmic channels between adjacent cells Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings LE 6-31 Tight
