Golgi complex • Stacked sacs • Receive proteins from ER • Modifies them and packages them up
Lysosomes • Contain hydrolytic enzymes that: • Bkdn old, worn out, or defective parts • Digest foreign invaders (e.g., bacteria) engulfed by phagocytosis • Helps with cell suicide (apoptosis)
Vesicles Ship and Store Cellular Products • Vesicles: membrane-bound spheres • Used for secretion and storage • Examples: neurotransmitters, hormones, lysosomes Figure 3.18
Cytoskeleton Supports the Cell • Microtubules • Microfilaments
Mitochondria: Provide Energy to the Cell • Produce ATP • Contain chromosomes (DNA) • Evolved from prokaryote (bacteria-like organism) through symbiosis
Our Cells Use Cellular Respiration to Generate ATP • Cellular respiration: Cells use glucose and oxygen to synthesize ATP • Three stages of respiration • Glycolysis: in cytoplasm • Citric Acid Cycle: in mitochondria • Electron Transport System: in mitochondria
Overview of Respiration • C6H12O6 + O2 CO2 + H2O + ATP
Cellular Respiration • Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm splitting glucose into two pyruvate molecules generating a net gain of two ATP and two NADH molecules
Cellular Respiration • The transition reaction occurs within the mitochondria. CO2 is removed from each pyruvate forming 2 acetyl CoA molecules
Cellular Respiration • Electrons are removed from Acetyl CoA in the citric acid cycle releasing two ATP, two FADH2 and six NADH molecules • CO2 is also released in this process
Cellular Respiration • The electron transport chain is the final step where the electrons of FADH2 and NADH are transferred from one protein to another, until they reach oxygen • This process releases energy that results in 32 ATP
