What is the organelle where cellular respiration takes place?

Cellular respiration is the multi-step process that creates energy from nutrients and food molecules. It begins in the cytoplasm of the cell, with the mitochondria functioning as the main organelle where the rest of the process continues and finishes. During respiration, glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Which cell organelle is considered a factory?

Introduction

Job in the Factory	Cell Organelle
Factory floor	Cytoplasm
Assembly line (where workers do their work)	Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Workers in the assembly line	Ribosomes
Finishing/packaging department	Golgi apparatus

What organelle is considered a factory because it takes in?
Nucleus, ribosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum How is the nucleus involved in protein synthesis? Contains DNA needed for protein building What organelle is considered a “factory”, because it takes in raw materials and converts them to cell products that can be used by the cell?
Which cellular organelle is the site of photosynthesis?
chloroplast

Which organelles are responsible for energy production in a cell?

Which cell organelle is responsible for the synthesis of proteins?

Ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum. Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for protein translation and are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. Some ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm, a gel-like substance that organelles float in and some are found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Which organelle controls the movement into and out of the cell?

Function Of Cell Organelles

A	B
nucleolus	site of the production of ribosomes
nuclear membrane	controls the movement into and out of the nucleus
cell wall	gives the cell its shape, provides protection, has pores for movement of certain materials in and out of cell
chloroplast	site of photosynthesis

Which structures manufactures the components of ribosomes?

Organelles

A	B
Nucleolus	manufacture the components of ribosomes
Nucleus	Control center for cellular operations; contains the genetic material (DNA)
Organelle	Part of a cell with a specific function
Ribosomes, bound	Found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum; manufacture proteins for use outside the cell

What is the pigment found in the organelle that absorbs light for photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll, the primary pigment used in photosynthesis, reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly. In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.

Which eukaryotic organelle is responsible for aerobic respiration?

It can be aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen or anaerobic respiration. Prokaryotic cells carry out cellular respiration within the cytoplasm or on the inner surfaces of the cells. More emphasis here will be placed on eukaryotic cells where the mitochondria are the site of most of the reactions.

Is a tiny fluid filled cavity in the cytoplasm it can be used for storage of biochemicals?

This organelle serves as the primary delivery system of proteins in the cell. This is a group of cells with similar structure or function. Vacuole. This is a tiny fluid-filled cavity in the cytoplasm that can be used for storage of biochemicals.

What is the ATP and what is its role in the cell?

ATP - Nature's Energy Store. All living things, plants and animals, require a continual supply of energy in order to function. The energy is used for all the processes which keep the organism alive. This special carrier of energy is the molecule adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.

Why is the nucleus like a black box?

The nucleus is like a black box, because there are still unknown processes occurring because we are not able to see all the activity inside the nucleus. 2. Explain why DNA is required in every cell. Because DNA contains genes and codes for the proteins the cell requires to carry out functions.

What organisms can perform photosynthesis?

Although there are some differences between oxygenic photosynthesis in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, the overall process is quite similar in these organisms. There are also many varieties of anoxygenic photosynthesis, used mostly by certain types of bacteria, which consume carbon dioxide but do not release oxygen.

What are the two different parts of photosynthesis?

The process of photosynthesis is divided into two main parts. The first part is called the light dependent reaction. This reaction happens when the light energy is captured and pushed into a chemical called ATP. The second part of the process happens when the ATP is used to make glucose (the Calvin Cycle).

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plants and algae?

There are also autotrophic organisms that do not perform photosynthesis but which do perform chemosynthesis. Plants, algae and cyanobacteria are photosynthetic organisms. In plants and algae, light is absorbed by chlorophyll, a molecule present in cytoplasmic organelles called chloroplasts.

What are the stacks of membranes inside the chloroplast?

Inside the chloroplasts are stacks of discs called thylakoids. They are compared to stacks of coins within the walls of the chloroplast, and they act to trap the energy from sunlight. The stacks of thylakoids are called grana.

Where is the energy source in a eukaryotic cell?

Plants produce energy from light through a process known as photosynthesis. Eukaryotic cells use their mitochondria to generate ATP through a process called cell respiration.

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

The two stages of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions). Light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, use light energy to make ATP and NADPH.

What is the role of mitochondria in plants?

The most prominent roles of mitochondria are to produce the energy currency of the cell, ATP (i.e., phosphorylation of ADP), through respiration, and to regulate cellular metabolism. The central set of reactions involved in ATP production are collectively known as the citric acid cycle, or the Krebs cycle.

How is water needed for photosynthesis?

In order for plants to carry out the process of photosynthesis, they need water, carbon dioxide and light. During the light reaction, chlorophyll molecules absorb light energy which is used to split water. This produces oxygen gas and hydrogen ions.
