Question
Chapter 15, Problem 6WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Whether antibiotic streptomycin or diphtheria toxin would kill mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Concept introduction:
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the organelles found in the eukaryotic cells. The bacterial cells lack these organelles. The main function of mitochondria is to perform aerobic respiration and generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate). On the other hand, the chloroplast helps in photosynthesis (in plants).
