Study Notes
Mitochondria
- Muscle cells and liver cells have a high concentration of mitochondria due to their high energy demands.
- ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy currency used by cells.
- Both mitochondria and chloroplasts share the feature of an invaginated inner membrane.
- Cristae are the folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane, increasing surface area for ATP production.
- Mitochondria contain the enzymes necessary for cellular respiration, which occurs both in the matrix and on the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Lysosomes
- Red blood cells (erythrocytes) lack lysosomes.
- Lysosomes are enclosed by a single membrane.
- Glyoxysomes, not lysosomes, break down fatty acids into sugars for energy storage.
