Study Notes
Metabolic Pathway and Energy Conversion
- Metabolic organelles are specialized compartments where many metabolic activities take place
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts are devoted to energy metabolism and ATP production
- Mitochondria generate energy from lipid to carbohydrate breakdown, while chloroplasts use energy captured by sunlight to generate energy ATP and the reducing power needed to synthesize carbohydrates
Properties and Functions of Chloroplasts
- Found in plant cells
- Comparable in size to whole bacterial cells
- Provides energy by converting solar energy into chemical energy
- Generates ATP to convert CO2 to sugar
- Electron-transport processes occur in thylakoid membrane
- Stroma is an internal space enclosed by membranes
- Chlorophyll and other chloroplast products are exported to cell cytosol
Properties and Functions of Mitochondria
- Found in most eukaryotic cells
- Comparable in size to whole bacterial cells
- Site of aerobic respiration and energy production
- Surrounded by two membranes
- Matrix contains enzymes, DNA, mRNA, and ribosomes
- Mitochondria are inherited only through the mother
Mitochondrial Organisation
- Metabolic functions are localized within the mitochondria
- Outer membrane: phospholipid synthesis, fatty acid desaturation, and fatty acid elongation
- Inner membrane: electron transport, proton translocation for ATP synthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, pyruvate import, fatty acyl CoA import, and metabolite transport
- Matrix: pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, ATP synthesis, β-oxidation of fats, DNA replication, RNA synthesis, and protein synthesis
Energy Conversion in Mitochondria and Chloroplasts
- ATP is generated from chemical energy or sunlight
- Two processes primarily responsible for the conversion: aerobic oxidation (aerobic respiration) conducted in mitochondria and photosynthesis conducted in chloroplasts of plants
