Organelles That Capture and Release Energy
By: Johnathan King, Michael Kim, Kevin Cahill, Ernie Mannebach, Alphonso Colicchio
Mitochondria
- A.K.A the powerhouse of the cell
- Mitochondria are "the powerhouse of the cell" convert the chemicals energy stored in food into compounds that are more convieniant for the cell use.
Mitochondria
Function
- The Mitochondria convert chemical energy stored in food into another form of chemical energy called ATP
- The compounds are spread over the cell for other uses.
Function
Cells
-Prokayrote carry out these reactions in the cytoplasms rather than in specialized organelles
-Mitochondria can be in both plant and animal cells
Structure
-The microchandria has an outer membrane and an inner membrane.
-Mitochondria comes from the egg cell. This means the organism gain their mitochondria from their mother.
-Mitochondria also contain their own form of DNA.
Picture
Chloroplasts
-Chloroplast convert energy from the sun into usable energy; ATP
-Chloroplasts are only found in plants
-They reproduce independently by splitting themselves multiple times
-They contain their own DNA
-They split simular to the way prokaryotic cells split.
Functions
-Convert solar energy into chemical energy found in glucose.
-The process of capturing solar energy and converting into chemical energy is called photosynthesis.
-The function of stroma is to convert carbion dioxide into carbohydrates
Structure
-Chloroplasts are in eukaryote cells that undergo photosynthesis (mostly plants)
-Chloroplasts are only in plant cells, never animal cells.
-Two membranes surround the chloroplasts.
-Inside the organelle, the chloroplasts contain green pigment called chlorophyll, giving plants their green color.
-Chloroplasts have their own DNA.
-There is a thick fluid in chloroplasts called stroma located inside of the inner layer

Venn Diagram
Chloroplasts
- Only in plant cells
- Convert sun energy into sugar
Both
- Contain DNA
- Double membrane
- Convert energy
- Found in plant cells
Mitochondria
- Releases energy found in all eukaryotic cells
- Convert chemical energy from food into ATP
- Found in animal cells
True/False Questions
____Chloroplasts are never found in animal cells.
____Unlike chloroplasts, mitochondria are surrounded by a double membrane.
____Nearly all of the mitochondria in your cells were inherited from your mother.
____Both chloroplasts and mitochondria lack genetic information in the form of DNA.
Answers: True, False, True, False
