Textbook Question

Chapter 2.15, Problem 1CR

How are the mitochondrion and the hydrogenosome similar structurally? How do they differ? How do they differ metabolically? What major physiological processes occur in the chloroplast? What evidence supports the idea that the major organelles of eukaryotes were once Bacteria?

Definition Definition Set of metabolic processes and reactions that produce energy from organic substances such as glucose. Cellular respiration takes place in the organism’s cells, where the chemical energy from nutrients or molecules of oxygen is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration; in the absence of oxygen, it is called anaerobic respiration.
