Summary Introduction
Cellular membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm are the three major components of a cell. Organelles are structures present within a cell and are specialized to perform a particular metabolic task essential for the survival of the cell. Eukaryotic cells consist of several organelles, including Golgi complex, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, flagella and cilia, chloroplast, microfilaments and microtubules, and lysosomes. Similar to a nucleus, mitochondria are also surrounded by a double membrane system. Some microbial eukaryotes get killed by the presence of oxygen (O2). Such microbes do not contain mitochondria and some may possess structures referred to as hydrogenosomes.

Extension Questions
Which of the following sequences correctly represents the flow of electrons during
photosynthesis?
A) NADPH 02 → CO2
B) H₂O
NADPH →Calvin cycle
C) NADPH chlorophyll →Calvin cycle
D) H2O
E) NADPH
photosystem I → photosystem II
electron transport chain → 02
Place these events in the correct order: absorption of electromagnetic radiation by chlorophyll,
synthesis of sugars, utilization of carbon dioxide by Calvin cycle enzymes, synthesis of
NADPH, synthesis of ATP, conversion of water into molecular oxygen.
Is NADP+ oxidized or reduced during the light reactions? How do you know this?
What would you expect to happen if you inactivated the NADP+ reductase?
Q14: What class of reactions does NAD*/NADH usually participate in and would you expect
the ratio of oxidized (NAD*) to reduced NADH to be high or low?
Q15: What class of reactions does NADP*/NADPH usually participate in and would you
expect the ratio of oxidized (NADP*) to reduced NADPH to be high or low?

In the first experiment, the student isolates mitochondria in a test tube, adds oxygen to the test tube, and measures the amounts of ATP produced at three temperatures. In a second experiment, the student keeps the temperature the same and varies the concentration of oxygen added to the test tube for each trial, The student records all data in the table shown.
