BIOL 112: CELLS 2
Plastids: describes both mitochondria and chloroplasts (set apart from the endomembrane
system)
Mitochondria - found in animal & plant cells
- where respiration takes place
- 2 membranes – outer and inner membrane (folded to generate invagination called
cristae to increase SA, ATP)
- The cytoplasm → matrix is where the citric acid cycle takes place (ribosomes, DNA, RNA,
etc.)
Chloroplasts – found in plant cells & responsible for photosynthesis
- Similar because they have an outer and inner membrane (stacks inside – thylakoids –
storage of membrane proteins, fatty acids, sugars)
- Stroma is the cytoplasm to distinguish between that and the cell
- DNA, RNA, ribosomes, etc.
Endosymbiotic Organelles Theory:
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts are descendants of bacteria
- Aerobic prokaryotic cell taken up by phagocytosis into the membrane derived
eukaryotic cell
- Have their own genome; circular; reminiscent of bacteria genome
- Lipids come through from ER through a unique system; unique protein import
o Inner membrane – derived from bacterial cell
o Outer membrane – derived from eukaryotic cell
Cytoskeleton: structure that holds the cells together
- Interior structure like elements inside the cell that is densely crowded by
proteins/ribosomes and cytoskeleton filaments, sugars
Cytoskeleton Filaments:
Actin – smallest filament in size (polymerase, found as monomers/filaments in the cell that
regulate polymerization and depolymerization, bond non-covalently (protein-protein
interactions))
o -end and +end, polarized, to help give the cell shape
o form actin bundles (~20) e.g. gut cells
o cortically: stabilize the shape of shells, extend the cell
Myosin: moves along the actin filament to cause movement ONLY IN 1 DIRECTION; when
yosi head attaches to acti ad oves the acti filaet slides

Document Summary
Plastids: describes both mitochondria and chloroplasts (set apart from the endomembrane system) Mitochondria - found in animal & plant cells. 2 membranes outer and inner membrane (folded to generate invagination called cristae to increase sa, atp) The cytoplasm matrix is where the citric acid cycle takes place (ribosomes, dna, rna, etc. ) Chloroplasts found in plant cells & responsible for photosynthesis. Similar because they have an outer and inner membrane (stacks inside thylakoids storage of membrane proteins, fatty acids, sugars) Stroma is the cytoplasm to distinguish between that and the cell. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are descendants of bacteria. Aerobic prokaryotic cell taken up by phagocytosis into the membrane derived eukaryotic cell. Have their own genome; circular; reminiscent of bacteria genome. Lipids come through from er through a unique system; unique protein import. Inner membrane derived from bacterial cell: outer membrane derived from eukaryotic cell. Interior structure like elements inside the cell that is densely crowded by proteins/ribosomes and cytoskeleton filaments, sugars.
