1 Mitochondria & Chloroplasts

2 Most cells get energy in one of two ways:
food molecules sun

3 Mitochondria Almost all eukaryotes contain mitochondria
Converts chemical energy into compounds cells can use Passed down in cytoplasm in egg cell Double membrane – outer and inner Inner membrane folded up inside Increased surface area-produces more ATP

4 Mitochondria Glucose is the principle energy source in most living organisms More energy in a glucose molecule than the cell can immediately use Mitochondria break down glucose to produce ATP – cellular respiration

5 ATP-Energy Source Adenosine triphosphate - stores energy
A-P~P~P When energy is needed, the 3rd phosphate bond is broken releasing energy A-P~P Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)

6 Chloroplasts Contained in plants
Converts energy from sun into chemical energy – photosynthesis Double membrane Contain green pigment - chlorophyll

7 Endosymbiotic Theory Single-celled prokaryotes microfossils found dating back to 3.5 bya About 2 bya, prokaryotes began evolving internal cell membranes Other prokaryotic organisms began to enter the ancestral eukaryotic cells forming a symbiotic relationship

8 Some prokaryotic could use oxygen to generate ATP – these became mitochondria
Some carried out photosynthesis – plants The endosymbiotic theory supposes the eukaryotic cells arose from living communities formed by prokaryotic organisms

9 Evidence Mitochondria and chloroplasts contain DNA similar to bacterial DNA Both have ribosomes similar to bacteria Both reproduce by binary fission like bacteria
