BioFlix: Chloroplasts and Mitochondria

The products of photosynthesis are:

BioFlix: Mitochondria

Many species of animals on islands are larger than related species on the mainland. Scientists hypothesize that this phenomenon, called island gigantism, evolved in response to the scarcity of competitors and predators on islands. Reduced competition and predation allows species to exploit more resources and frees them from the need to hide in small refuges.

Which of the following might be a trade-off of gigantism experienced by giant island tortoises?
a. They cool very rapidly during cold weather.
b. It would be difficult to sustain their high mass-specific metabolic rates on a diet of plants alone.
c. It could be more difficult to avoid thermally unfavorable conditions.
d. They could hide from nonnative predators more easily.

Which part of a mitochondria contains the mitochondrial DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes?

Chloroplasts

 Mitochondria are involved in energy metabolism. 

 No. This is a true statement. The mitochondria are involved in energy metabolism. 

 Mitochondria have more than one membrane. 

 No. This is a true statement. The mitochondria have two membranes. 

 The folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane are called cristae. 

 No. This is a true statement. The folds are called cristae. 

 No. This is a true statement. The mitochondria do have their own DNA molecule, which directs the synthesis of some mitochondrial proteins. 

 Mitochondria contain ribosomes in the intermembrane space. 

Think about the structure and function of the mitochondria.

Which of the following is false?

Thylakoids, DNA, and ribosomes are all components found in ________.

 Photosynthetic cells in the leaves of a tree 

 No. Although all cells need mitochondria for energy, the largest number of mitochondria will be found in the cells with the highest energy demand. 

 Bacterial cells that are growing on sugars 

 No. Bacteria are prokaryotes and do not have membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria. 

 Inactive yeast cells that are stored for future use 

 Nondividing cells in the skin on your finger 

 Muscle cells in the legs of a marathon runner 

Think about the specialized function of mitochondria.

Which type of cell is most likely to have the largest number of mitochondria?

Chloroplast Structure

 No. The ER is the source of lipids for all membranes in the endomembrane system. 

 No. The plasma membrane is part of the endomembrane system and is composed of lipids made in the ER. 

 No. The membrane of the lysosome is part of the endomembrane system and is composed of lipids made in the ER. 

 No. The membranes of the Golgi apparatus are part of the endomembrane system and are composed of lipids made in the ER. 

Consider the origin of lipids in these various membranes.

Which of the following five membranes is most likely to have a lipid composition that is distinct from those of the other four?
