Summary Introduction
To review:
The features of chloroplasts, which confirm that, like mitochondria, they have also evolved from living organisms.
Introduction:
Chloroplasts and mitochondria are like organelles. Their main function is to generate energy for the cell. Both of them are semiautonomous organelles, that is, they can replicate on their own, but they still depend on the host for their needs.

What would happen if there was no methionine in the cell?
QUESTION NO. 1L-Carnitine is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in the kidneys and then transported to other tissues. It is most concentrated in tissues that use fatty acids as their primary fuel, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this regard, L-carnitine plays an important role in energy production by conjugating to fatty acids for transport from the cytosol into the mitochondria. L-carnitine shuttle is an example of
A. ion driven active transport
B. facilitated diffusion
C. simple diffusion
D. ATP driven active transportE. symport
F. antiportQUESTION NO.2 Statements: (1) Glucose is both a hexose and a aldose. (2) There can never be more than three enantiomers for a molecule. (3) All common disaccharides have beta-one-four linkages. Which statements are true?
