Question
Chapter 5.6, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
Mitochondria, hydrogenosomes, and chloroplast are three key energy conserving organelles in the cell. All these organelles are believed to be derived from bacteria. These organelles are thought to be ingested by ancestors of eukaryotes. Therefore, mitochondria, hydrogenosomes, and chloroplast received great interest due to their evolutionary history.

You then moved the cells to an incubator containing normal atmosphere (i.e., 21% oxygen), completed a second set of measurements, and made the following observations: The rate of cell division increased considerably after the addition of oxygen (aerobic growth) Glucose consumption dropped dramatically after the addition of oxygen Intracellular ATP:ADP ratios increased significantly (from 2:1 in the absence of oxygen to 10:1 in the presence of oxygen) Explain how the mitochondria in the yeast contribute to the dramatic drop in glucose utilization and increase in ATP concentrations in the presence of oxygen.arrow_forwardExplain gel electrophoresis?arrow_forward
