Concept explainers
To argue:
Against a proposal given by a candidate that the mitochondria and chloroplast should be classified in the endomembrane system.
Introduction:
Mitochondria are membrane bound organelle which is also known as “power house of the cell”. It is present in almost all cells except RBCs. The structure of mitochondria includes outer and inner membranes made of lipid and proteins. The chloroplast is a lens shaped in structure and enveloped in membranes called as stroma which contains DNA, ribosomes and enzymes. Flat and connected sacs known as thylakoid are present in units known as granum which contains chlorophyll. The chlorophyll captures the sunlight and converts and stores it in the form of ATP.

- What is the relationship between the components of the endomembrane system? This should be an original thought, not Google’s.arrow_forwardHello! I need a hand with this question: What cell structures best reveal evolutionary unity? Provide examples of diversity related to specialized cellular modifications. Thanks in advance.arrow_forwardQ1. You are required to design a carbon-based, eukaryotic, unicellular organism that contains membrane-bound organelles that match those on Earth. Describe specific structures and components that you would include in the cell wall, plasma membrane and internal cell membranes of your cell that would assist the cell's survival in the low temperatures and high pressure experienced on Kepler-28d. Specfically, mention what can be added to internal cell membranes, structure wise and components (200 words maximum)arrow_forward
- Based on Baluska et al. (2004)'s paper entitled "Eukaryotic Cells and their Cell Bodies: Cell Theory Revised" 1. What are the reasons why we need to revise the cell theory? What parts of it are problematic? 2. What is the cell body being proposed by Baluska (2004) and what makes it the ‘actual’ basic unit of life? 3. What is the cell periphery apparatus? How is it related to the aforementioned cell body?arrow_forward*Highschool Question: The vast majority of carnivores have tissues that sometimes have a lot of mitonchondria in their cells. What tissues are they? And why are they so rich in mitochondria?arrow_forwardQ1: What structures do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have in common? Q2: What cellular processes occur in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? Q3: Both plants and animals are eukaryotes, but there are differences in their cellular structure. What are those differences?arrow_forward
- What is the endosymbiotic hypothesis about the origin of mitochondria? What are the molecular facts that support the hypothesis? To which other cellular organelles can the hypothesis also be applied?arrow_forwardQ1. You are required to design a carbon-based, eukaryotic, unicellular organism that contains membrane-bound organelles that match those on Earth. Describe specific structures and components that you would include in the cell wall, plasma membrane and internal cell membranes of your cell that would assist the cell's survival in the low temperatures and high pressure experienced on Kepler-28d. (200 words maximum) Answer here: Q2. It is critical that your cell contains the capacity to transport and traffic cellular components both intracellularly and extracellularly. To facilitate this you will need to develop an endomembrane system. Outline the function of the endomembrane system, including which organelles will be included within your endomembrane system. (200 words maximum) Answer here: Q3. Your cell must be able to synthesise its own proteins. Assuming the mechanism of transcription and translation remains unchanged from Earth-based organisms, describe how the…arrow_forwardBased on Baluska et al.

Foyez Samar The volume enclosed by the plasma membrane of plant cells is often much larger the c corresponding volume in animal cells. The most regsengble explanation for this observation Is that A) plant cells are capable of having a much higher surface-to-volume ratio than animal cells. B) plant cells have a much more highly convoluted (folded) plasma membrane than animal cens. C) plant cells contain a large vacuole that reduces the volume of the cytoplasm. D) animal cells are more spherical, whereas plant cells are elongated. 12 A uarrow_forward
