Ch 6 A tour of the cell sections 3-5

Front

Where is most ATP made in eukaryotic cell respiration?

Back

On the mitochondrial inner membrane.

Front

Where is ATP made in prokaryotes?

Back

On the plasma membrane.

Front

Why are mitochondria and chloroplasts not part of the endomembrane system?

Back

Their structure is not derived from the ER or Golgi.

Front

Where would most cyanide be found in a cell exposed to it?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What organelle produces and modifies polysaccharides attached to proteins for secretion?

Back

Golgi apparatus.

Front

What supports the endosymbiotic theory of eukaryotic cell evolution?

Back

Today's mitochondria and chloroplasts are similar in size to bacteria, have their own DNA, and can replicate independently.

Front

What is the function of the Golgi apparatus?

Back

To modify, sort, and package proteins and polysaccharides for secretion.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in the cell?

Back

To produce ATP through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the significance of the plasma membrane in prokaryotes?

Back

It is the site of ATP production.

Front

What is the endomembrane system?

Back

A network of membranes involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of proteins and lipids.
