Lesson 2-4

It controls all the chemical activities of the cell. The nucleic materials (DNA and RNA) are the principal molecules responsible for this actions.​

a jellylike, clear substance that fills the entire cell’s volume. Consists 90% of water.Contains protein, amino acids and glucose

provides space for important chemical reactions/activities and help move chemicals to their proper destinations

smallest organelles of cell and responsible for protein synthesis

Powerhouse of the cell. They contain enzymes that aid the cell in drawing energy from glucose.

It stores water and other materials for use by the cells. Big on plant cells and small on animal cells

Small, saclike structures that contain digestive enzymes

prepare certain protein compounds for dispersal from the cell.

-Small thin tubes -act as support structures for the cell

they serve as organizer structures for the microtubules within the cell. Can also be seen in animal cell

Separates and protects the interior part of the cell from the outside environment

Act as supportive structure for plant cell

Two kinds of organelles act as cellular powerhouses playing essential roles in manufacturing food and releasing energy, respectively

organelles for the production of food in the form of sugars with the use of carbon dioxide, water and energy from sunlight

the conversion of light energy into chemical energy that is stored in organic compounds such as carbohydrates/glucose.​

Formula for photosynthesis

Formula for Cellular Respiration

What are the three stages of Photosynthesis?

Conversion of chemical energy from nutrients (glucose) into ATP, and then release waste product

What are the three Stages of cellular respiration​?

Its splitting glucose molecules into two molecules of pyruvate. It also produces two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH

It occurs in inner mitochondrial membrane where series of protein complexes are located. This process produce large amount of ATP.

This process happens in the matrix of Mitochondria. This process will produce:​ 6 molecules of NADH​ 2 molecules of ATP​ 2 molecules of FADH2​

The process by which living cells convert the energy released by the oxidation of organic compounds into the energy-carrier molecule ATP(Adenosine TriPhosphate).
