A | B |
organelles | each is designed for special function |
cytoplasm | area between membrane and nucleus |
cytosol | gel-like substance that surrounds organelles in cytoplasm |
mitochondria | synthesis of ATP; found in liver; has 2 membranes and own DNA |
ATP | adenosine triphosphate (energy source of cell) |
eukaryotes | membrane-bound organelles |
mitochondria boundaries | inner (folds called cristae) and outer (between mitochondria and cytosol) |
folds | provide larger surface area for ATP production |
production of mitochondria | new mitochondria are produced from existing mitochondria |
endosymbiosis | scientists use this theory to describe evolution of mitochondria |
evolution of mitochondria | may have evolved from prokaryote cells that took refuge in eukaryote cells |
Ribosomes | most numerous organelles in the cell, made in nucleus; contain RNA and proteins |
Where ribosomes located | some are floating free, others are embedded in another organelle |
Ribosomes in cytosol | used to produce proteins that are used by the cell |
