Plant cells differ from animal cells because they have a cell wall, a big-sized vacuole, and chloroplasts. Part A: Mitochondria. Part B: Cell respiration. Part C: Photosynthesis.
--------------------------
From the exposed image, we can differentiate the animal cell from the plant cell.
- Cell X is the animal cell, which contains mitochondria (C), cell membrane (A), and a nucleus (B). Of course, there are many other organelles.
- Cell Y is a plant cell, which has the previously mentioned organelles. It also has a cell wall, a big-sized vacuole, and chloroplasts.
Part A: Identify the organelle you selected. (1 point)
MITOCHONDRIA
Part B: State one function of the organelle that you identified in above. (1 point)
Mitochondria are in charge of cell respiration.
This is a process through which the cell cells degrade organic compounds and produce energy.
In animal cells occurs Aerobic respiration, which takes place in three steps or stages:
• Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm
• The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria matrix.
• The electron transporter chain is in the internal mitochondrial membrane
Cell respiration uses organic compounds and oxygen to produce ATP, releasing CO₂ and water in the process.
During this process, part of the produced and stored energy is used by the cell for its own needs. The rest is destined to the other cells and tissues for the organism to perform its functions.
Part C: Identify one process that is carried out in cell Y that is not carried out in cell X. (2 points)
Plant cells can perform photosynthesis.
- Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts.
- It is a process that needs solar radiation to produce organic compounds
- Photosynthesis transforms CO₂ into organic compounds, releasing oxygen.
