CHLOROPLASTS & MITOCHONDRIA
DO NOW: A typical cell of prochlorus has a diameter of about 1 µm. Euglena are
unicellular organisms that are about 0.05 mm in length. How many procholorus cells
in a straight line would be as long as an Euglenoid?

The Basics: Chloroplasts
STRUCTURE: A bean-shaped green organelle with lots of membranes inside.
FUNCTION: Photosynthesis (capture light energy to build carbohydrates)CO2 + H2O + light CH2O + O2
***PLANTS ONLY!!!

The Basics: Mitochondria STRUCTURE: A bean-shaped organelle
with lots of membranes inside.
FUNCTION: Cellular Respiration (break down food to get the energy)CO2 + H2O + light CH2O + O2
***All Eukaryotic cells, including plants

Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are Energy Converters
Mitochondria RELEASE the energy stored in food
Chloroplasts CAPTURE the energy of sunlight

Endosymbiosis Endosymbiotic Theory: plastids (e.g.
chloroplasts) and mitochondria are the descendents of once free-living prokaryotes that were internalized by a larger cell.

Evidence for Endosymbiosis
Chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own DNA and ribosomes for making their own proteins.
The DNA is similar to prokaryotes (circular), as are the ribosomes (70s vs. 80s)

Evidence for Endosymbiosis Both
mitochondria and plastids are surrounded by two membranes… and the innermost one is chemically similar to… bacteria

Lots of Other Evidence… They divide by binary fission,
like bacteria Very different eukaryotic cells
have similar plastids – a difficult coincidence to explain without endosymbiosis.
Cells cannot make new mitochondria or plastids if they are lost.
DNA homology shows mitochondria are similar to proteobacteria, and chloroplasts to cyannobacteria

What about human energy converters?
Humans have developed technology that allow us to release lots of energy originally captured by ancient chloroplasts.
In a chemical sense, a fossil-fuel electricity plant is like a mitochondria: it oxidizes carbon to CO2 in order to make usable energy!
