How are they different?arrow_forwardDescribe how the structure of the mitochondria OR the chloroplast aids in function. 12. Why do the chlorophyll a molecules in photosystem II have an optimal absorbance of light at 680 nm, while the chlorophyll a molecules in photosystem I have an optimal absorbance of light at 700 nm? What does this tell you about the transfer of energy between these two photosystems during the light reactions?arrow_forward
- Chloroplasts and mitochondria are both unusual in that they have double membranes and contain their own set of DNA. Can you think of any explanations for this observation?arrow_forwardElodea is an aquatic plant native to Florida. A process called cytoplasmic streaming or cyclosis occurs in Elodea cells, where there is movement of the cytoplasm. The same phenomenon is also observed in animal cells. Below is a microscope image of Elodea cells. 1. Describe the overall shape of the Elodea cells. 2. Label the cell wall of an Elodea cell. 3. Are chloroplasts abundant in the Elodea cell? How many chloroplasts do you think are visible? 4. What are two abiotic (non-living) factors that influence the growth of Elodea?arrow_forwardIllustrate the relationships among the membranes and compartments of (a) mitochondria and (b) chloroplasts by sketching simple concentric circles to represent the membranes. Choose the appropriate labels for each sketchfrom the following list: inner membrane, outer membrane, thylakoid membrane, stroma, thylakoid lumen, matrix.arrow_forward
- A human sperm cell moves its flagella back and forth in order to move through its environment. Which statement describes how this eukaryotic cell transfers energy to the flagellum in order to allow it to move? The cell uses photosynthesis to make the glucose needed to create ATP. The cell uses the mitochondria to generate high energy proteins that move the flagella. The cell mitochondria utilize cellular respiration to generate glucose that gives the flagella energy to move. The cell produces ATP in the mitochondria and the breaking of high energy bonds are used to move the flagella.arrow_forwardExplain the function of chloroplasts and amyloplastsarrow_forwardWhat describes the function of the chloroplastsarrow_forward
